Fence And Gate Installation

Hi, Need x 4 6 x 6 fence panels, x 5 concrete posts, x 4 concrete gravel boards, and a 6 x 3 gate. I'm in Hertfordshire, phoned a guy today, and he quoted £700 all in ( Did say they'd be better quality fence panels than standard overlap ones ) Does £700 seem like a good price ?

    I work for a company in Bradford West Yorkshire called The Lawn King.

    We do these sort of installations all the time.

    If we were presented with your requirements, our quotation would have been as follows.

    Materials
    including 4 (Higher Quality not shiplap/feathered edge) 6x6 Fence Panels, 5 Concrete slotted posts approx 2.6m, 4 Concrete Gravel Boards (dependant on the height), Sand, Cement, Balast (Post Concrete), 6x3 Gate with fittings.

    Total = £415.80 Materials

    Labour

    All inclusive installation (second visit required to leave time for posts to set)

    Total = £175.00

    All in the quote we would have provided would have been £590.80

    this would have been subject to the style of panels, and the height of the concrete gravel boards.
  • can anyone possibly give me a quick rough idea of costs for somene to install some paddock pencing, i have all the materials just need someone to install, and im gathering rough prices to estimate how much it would cost per meter, its basic wooden planks and posts????
