How Much Does It Cost to Replace a Full Garden Boundary Fence in Hengrove?

A full run costs more today and less per metre — and considerably less over ten years than doing it in pieces.

Updated 1 September 2026 Garden Fencing · Hengrove

The Short Answer

A full replacement is quoted on the same factors as any fence, plus removing and disposing of the old one. The removal is a genuine part of the job — old panels, posts and dug-out concrete bases all have to go somewhere.

We do not publish a fixed price list for fencing, because the ground, the access and the specification vary so much between properties.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.

Why the Whole Run Costs Less Per Metre

Fences replaced in sections never quite match. Timber weathers, panel patterns change between production runs, and the joins show. More practically, the newer sections get damaged when the older posts beside them are eventually replaced — so the money spent on them is partly spent twice.

Planning It

The expensive part of a boundary fence is rarely the fence. It is discovering, after the posts are set, that the line was somewhere else.

FAQs

Full Boundary Replacement in Hengrove — FAQs

How much does it cost to replace a full boundary fence in Hengrove?

It is quoted on length, height, style, posts, ground and access, plus removing and disposing of the old fence — which is a genuine part of the job.

Is it cheaper to do the whole run at once?

Per metre, yes. One set-up, one delivery, one waste removal and one access arrangement, and the whole run then ages together.

Why not replace it in sections?

Sections never quite match, and the newer ones get damaged when the older posts beside them are eventually replaced — so that money is partly spent twice.

What adds most to the cost?

Digging out old concrete bases, growth grown into the fence, changed ground levels, sloping runs, and an unclear boundary line.

Do you remove the old fence?

Yes. Panels, posts and dug-out concrete all have to go, and on a full run that is substantial waste.

Should I tell my neighbour?

Yes, well before rather than on the morning. Both faces usually need access at some stage and they may have items fixed to the old fence.

Can the fence be left open overnight?

Sometimes it has to be. Tell us if that is a problem for pets or children and we will plan around it.

How do I make the new one last longer?

Concrete posts, gravel boards, proper depth, wind-permeable panels where exposed, and keeping soil and planting off the timber.
