Fencing quote... is it too cheap?

PDF

Hello all,

Had a fencing quote for a run of 18.6 metres and a run of 5.4 metres of close board fencing 6' high with gravel boards and wooden posts (our choice) Capped. Two gate posts replaced and a 5 bar gate to be re-hung (supplied by me).

I know the usual advice of getting 3 quotes but I've asked 5 local firms to quote and only one has got back to me.

He priced the job at £1030 all in. (No old fencing to dispose of as I've already done that )

I thought it would be about £1500 - 1800 so I'm happy but have nothing to compare it too. Located in the south west between Dorset/Hands.

I just paid £680 for a run of about 13 metres so it sounds similar in terms of price per metre. We have concrete posts - which almost anyone would recommend over wood. The reason our last fence came down was the wooden posts snapping in the wind. Took two guys one day.

Neighbours asked me for the guy's number, it looks a good job.
