Before pricing a replacement, work out whether you are replacing a fence or replacing some panels. They are different amounts of money.
Replacement is quoted on the same factors as a new fence, plus removal and disposal of the old one. The question worth settling first is how much is actually being replaced — posts and all, or panels into sound existing posts.
We do not publish a fixed price list for fencing, because the ground, the access and the specification vary so much between properties. What we can do is set out what changes the number, so you know what to look at before you ask.
| Job | What it involves | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|
| Panels only | Existing posts sound; new panels dropped in | Lowest |
| Panels and some posts | Mixed — replacing the failed ones | Middle |
| Full replacement | New posts, panels, gravel boards, old fence removed | Highest |
| Repair | Spurs, replacement boards, refixing | Lowest of all, where viable |
People often ask for a full replacement when panels would do, or ask for panels when the posts are clearly gone. It is worth having someone look before you decide which conversation you are having.

It depends whether you are replacing panels into sound posts, replacing some posts, or replacing the whole run including removal of the old fence. They are very different amounts.
Push the post at shoulder height and watch for movement at ground level, and press a screwdriver into the timber at soil level. If it sinks in, the post is done.
For one or two failed posts, yes — concrete repair spurs can add years. Where the whole run is tired, patching means paying twice.
Yes, by agreement, and it is a real part of the job — old panels and dug-out concrete bases both have to be disposed of.
If they are sound, yes, and it saves a good deal. If one has failed, check them all — they went in the same day in the same ground.
Depends on length, ground and access. We will give you a realistic timescale at quotation, including whether the run has to be left open at any point.
Yes, before the work rather than during. Both faces usually need access at some stage, and they may have items fixed to the old fence.
Most of the year is fine. Very wet ground makes post setting awkward, and lead times lengthen after storms.
