Looking for fencing quotes in the UK?
Whether you need a new garden fence, a replacement boundary, storm-damaged panel repairs or a gate, the first step is to give contractors a brief they can actually price. UK Fencing Quotes is an independent referral service: we review your information and may introduce you to a contractor who covers your area. We do not install fences or guarantee a quotation.
Choose the specification
Tell us whether you want closeboard, panel, slatted, metal or agricultural fencing, and if existing posts need replacing. Compare UK fencing types.
Compare written quotes
Ask whether each contractor includes posts, labour, disposal, access arrangements, VAT and warranties. Our quote comparison guide explains the checks.

UK fencing questions, answered
How much does garden fencing cost per metre in the UK?
Published 2026 UK price guides put typical installed garden fencing at roughly £60–£120 per metre for many standard jobs. More elaborate styles can cost more. The total depends on the type and height of fence, posts, old-fence removal, ground conditions and access. These are national guide prices, not a fixed quote. See what changes a fencing quote or review the published cost guide.
Do I need planning permission for a 6ft garden fence?
In England, a fence around 6ft (1.83m) high is often within the usual 2m permitted-development limit away from a vehicle highway. If it is adjacent to a highway used by vehicles, including its footpath, the normal limit is 1m. Listed buildings, planning conditions and Article 4 directions can change the rules; check your circumstances before installation. Read the fence planning guide.
Who is responsible for the fence between neighbours?
There is no general rule that you own the fence on the left or right of your garden. Check your title documents or deeds for any maintenance obligation, and discuss changes with your neighbour before moving or replacing a shared boundary. HM Land Registry says its title plans normally show general boundaries, not the exact legal line. See HM Land Registry guidance.
How much does it cost to replace one fence panel?
A single-panel repair may cost approximately £60–£150 when existing posts are sound, according to 2026 UK repair price guidance. A rotten post, concrete removal, restricted access or specialist panels can change the price substantially. Ask the contractor to price both the damaged panel and any supporting post work. See fence repair enquiries.
What should be included in a fencing quote?
A useful written quote specifies the measured length, fence height and material, number and type of posts, gravel boards, removal of old fencing, disposal, VAT position and labour. Ask whether hidden ground problems or additional post work cost extra, then compare like-for-like specifications. Use the quote comparison checklist.
