Panels are what people price. Posts and post holes are what the money actually buys.
Fencing is quoted on length, height, style, post type, ground conditions and access. Ground conditions are the factor that most often explains why two apparently identical quotes differ.
We do not publish a fixed price list for fencing, because the ground, the access and the specification vary so much between properties.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.
| Post type | Notes |
|---|---|
| Timber, concreted in | Traditional, looks right, rots at ground level eventually |
| Concrete posts | Longest-lived; panels slot in and replace easily |
| Metal spikes | Cheapest and quickest, weakest in exposed positions |
| Bolt-down on hard surface | Where digging is not possible |
| Repair spurs | Bracing an existing rotted post rather than replacing |
Fences fail at the posts, essentially always. The panels above are usually still serviceable when the fence comes down. That makes post specification the single most cost-effective decision in the whole job.

Fencing along an overgrown boundary is slow, and it is also blind — you cannot set a line you cannot see. Where a hedge, brambles or years of growth sit on the boundary, clearing that first is nearly always cheaper than fencing around it, and it frequently reveals that the line is not where anyone assumed. Where both are needed, doing them as one arrangement means one set-up and one waste removal.

The posts. Fences fail at the posts while the panels above are usually still serviceable, so that is where spending pays back.
Usually. They outlast timber considerably and panels slot in, making future replacement simple.
Because you are paying for the post holes. Rock, made ground, buried concrete and tree roots all turn a quick hole into a slow one.
Nearly always. Fencing along an overgrown line is slow and blind, and clearing frequently reveals the line is not where anyone assumed.
Yes, by agreement. It is a job in its own right with its own waste.
Frequently, where the fence serves both gardens. Agree it before the work rather than after.
