Start with the decision you need to make
A fencing project does not always begin with choosing a panel. You may be trying to decide whether to keep existing posts, make a damaged boundary usable again or compare two quotations that describe different work. These guides help you organise those questions before you commit to a specification.
If you already know what you need, go straight to our installation service or fence repairs. You can also call 020 3797 3058 to discuss the property and request a free quotation.
Understand the full project cost
Our fencing costs guide explains the parts of a project that influence the total: the fence itself, its supports, access, ground conditions and removal of existing materials. It also shows why a panel price or a headline price per metre cannot describe every installation.
Use the guide to prepare a scope that contractors can price consistently. It does not provide a generic price promise for an unseen property.
Decide whether repair is the right starting point
The repair or replace guide helps you separate a problem with one panel from a problem affecting the posts or a longer run. It also covers partial replacement, visual matching and what you need to know about the fence being retained.
You do not need to diagnose the fault yourself. A description of what has changed, together with photographs taken from a safe position, can help start the assessment.
Make your enquiry easier to price
Use the fencing quotation checklist to record the location, approximate length, preferred result and access arrangements. It gives you practical questions about materials, removal, exclusions and handover so you can check whether competing quotations cover the same project.
Keep your notes simple. A rough sketch and a clear description are more helpful than an exact measurement taken in an unsafe position.
