How much does fencing cost in the UK?
Fencing prices depend on materials, fence height, terrain, and whether old fencing needs removing. Below are typical installed costs to help you budget before requesting quotes.
| Fence type | Avg. cost per metre (installed) |
|---|---|
| Lap panel | £40 – £65 |
| Close-board | £65 – £90 |
| Picket | £45 – £70 |
| Metal railings | £80 – £130 |
| Garden gate (supply & fit) | £150 – £350 |
| Driveway gate (pair, manual) | £800 – £2,500 |
Prices are approximate UK averages and vary by region, access, and ground conditions. Getting multiple quotes is the most reliable way to gauge your actual cost.
What to consider before hiring a fencing installer
- Check boundaries. Confirm the fence line sits on your property. Your title deeds or Land Registry plan show the legal boundary.
- Know the permitted height. In England & Wales, front garden fences over 1 m and rear fences over 2 m usually need planning permission.
- Get at least three quotes. Comparing multiple installers helps you spot fair pricing and avoid outliers — this is what our service is built for.
- Ask about materials. Pressure-treated timber lasts longer but costs more upfront. Discuss options like concrete posts vs. wooden posts with your installer.
- Check for insurance. A reputable installer should have public liability insurance. Don't be afraid to ask for proof.
