Removal of fencing and posts
7 concrete posts
6 gravel boards
6 new fence panels - vertical wood?
Removal and disposal of all old stuff and rubbish

Thank you in advance for your comments

kit will cost circa £250. Disposal of rubbish circa £50.

Leaves £540 for the labour, vehicle, taxes etc. 2 guys @ half a day each.

Seems reasonable I guess. You could try to knock them down a little, seems as though there is some fat in the quote

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

Cheap tat won't last 5 minutes budget should be more like £400+ and even thats not pushing the boat out. Disposal will be closer to £ 100 these days I'm afraid unless they flytip.

Leaves £300ish for the labour which is probably about right.

Thanks for your replies, when given the price I nearly fell over!!! When I thought about what we would be getting and the fact that he will be supplying decent stuff (same as he put in his garden) then didn't think it was too bad.

Thanks again
