It won't surprise you to learn that fencing can range drastically in price, depending on the type, style, and material you choose – not to mention how large your home's boundary is. If you're feeling like it's time for a brand-new fence, then you could be looking at £45 per panel, on average. Installation costs, if you're hiring help, average at £1,450 for a 1.2 metre (4ft) fence and £1,850 for a 1.8 metre (6ft) fence.

These days, there are plenty of luxurious fence options, too, like wrought iron, steel, and aluminium. The typical cost for a metre of wrought iron fencing is between £675 and £850, while aluminium and steel come in at £297.50 and £165 per metre respectively.
