What kind of fence should I get?

That depends on what you need it to do. Is it about privacy? Security? Keeping the dog in? Here are a few popular types:

• Panel fencing – A solid choice for privacy and a neat, modern look.

• Closeboard fencing – Great for strength and security, especially in windy areas.

• Picket fencing – Classic, charming, and ideal for front gardens.

• Post and rail – Best for marking boundaries on large or rural properties.

• Composite or vinyl fencing – Low-maintenance options that still look the part.

Still unsure? Our fencing tradespeople can offer advice on what’s right for your home, garden, and budget.

What kind of gate should I get?

Like fences, gates come in all shapes and sizes, and the right one depends on where it’s going and what it’s for. Some options include:

• Wooden gates – Popular for gardens and driveways. Can be painted or stained to match your fence.

• Metal gates – A strong, secure option. Often chosen for driveways and side access points.

• Electric or automated gates – Ideal for driveways if you want extra security and convenience.

• Side gates or pedestrian gates – Smaller gates designed for easy everyday access.

Many tradespeople can design and fit a gate to match your fence. Just ask a joiner or metalworker for bespoke work options. 

How long does it take to install a new fence or gate?

For a standard garden fence (around 10 panels), installation usually takes 1–2 days. Smaller repairs might be done in a few hours, while bespoke gates or larger boundary projects can take longer.

If you order made-to-measure panels or gates, you may need to wait a few weeks for them to be built or fabricated. 

The timing depends on:

• The size of the area

• Ground conditions (rocky soil or slopes can slow things down)

• The type of materials used

• Whether old fencing needs to be removed first

A good tradesperson will give you a clear timescale before work begins, and keep you updated as they go.

How much do fences cost?

According to our figures, the average cost for installing new fence panels is £1,450 (4 ft) - £1,850 (6ft) for labour and £45 per panel for materials. Meanwhile, the average cost to repair a fence is £60 - £180 per metre.

The exact price you pay will depend on a number of factors, such as the type of fence, materials, height, and the location.
