Rough price for replacing fence

[Boons]

Not as in how much for me to buy, how much would you pay someone to do it, or how much would you quote?

Ive been asked to do a friends and want to make sure Im somewhere near
How much would replacing 24 6x6 normal panels and posts in a normal rectangle garden be? This would be to remove the old knackered 6x6 panels also.

Cheers all

factors notwithstanding, about £700 - £800 in Bucks for basic posts and shiplap. Hmm, actually I guess that depends on whether your North or South Bucks

 

[big-all]

no where near enough info and i havent got a clue on what things costs but here is my ideas

you supply materials !!!

concrete posts wooden posts!!!

spikes /postcrete!!!

how are the old posts held in !!!!!

so the cost of a fence post + the panel+a bag of post crete=£25 to £30 per panel!!!!!!! times 24= £600 to £750 for materials [you look up the actual material costs ]

1 or 2 days to remove old fence 2 days to errect new

2 or 3 skips to remove old materials

hire costs of eqipment!!!!!!

your expected payment / beer money per hour £2-£30
total possible price range £800- £1200

but its up to you as i am only making a mildly uneducated guess

Just and extrapolation from the eight panels I had installed a couple of years ago. As Big all has said, my rough estimate is based based upon a level surface no obstacles, and it really will make a difference between north and south bucks !!

Posts will be held in with concrete/postcrete.
Id worked it out at about £700 for materials too

Or to save cash do what I do, pile up the old fence panels in your garden and burn them in an incinerator over several evenings. Wait til it gets dark, and damp foggy nights are best to ont annoy the neighbours.

 

[fencer]

£60 per panel & post if all wood and posts are 3"x3"x8' & panel is 6'x6'.
Charge £80 to remove/dispose of old fence (skip hire but in reality I burn it in the yard).

Edited to say thats in berkshire/hants.

1 or 2 days to remove old fence

Yeah, if your ripping fence down from Buckingham palace!

Half a day to rip the old fencing out and posts.
