Sounds like a bargain to me.How high is the fence?
where in the county are you located?2 -
I would check that it’s a full quote and also do some research into the company/people.
Sounds much too cheap to me1 -
I had a mate do mine 5 years ago and i paid for the skip and he supplied and fitted the fence:
60ft fence (think its called Featheredged with Arris Rails and Gravel Board fence) £950 + vat = £1,140
6 yard skip cost me £250 + vat - £300 (i think the 10 yard was £350 + vat = £420)
i would be going to a garden supply place and pricing up all the materials (both the fencing job and the slabs). Then find out cost of Skip hire and add that. Then be realistic on how long will it take to do the job without rushing it (perhaps 3 or 4 days). Lets say there's 2 workers, so allow £200 per person per day (£1,200 to £1,600).
So: £1,200 for labour + skip £300 + materials £1,300 = £2,800 ------> the quote looks cheap to meI have a tendency to mute most posts so if your expecting me to respond you might be waiting along time!1 -
What does the "Fencing Landscaping quote for £2250 - £2500 gbp" actually cover?AC20 said:Fencing 2x7.5m + 1x 5.4m wall closeboard pressure treated with concrete posts and gravelboard

Is it labour only?
Porcelain slabs are expensive
Skip rental will be £300 or more
Why is the price a quote with a £250 range? Why isn't there simply a fixed price?1 -
