How the calculator works
You enter the length of your fence in metres and pick the type, the height and the post style. The calculator then applies a low and a high rate per metre for that combination. It multiplies both rates by your length, which gives the price range you see above.
Height changes the rate because taller fences need more material. Post style matters too, since concrete posts and gravel boards cost more than timber posts. If you tick the removal box, the calculator also adds an allowance for taking away the old fence.
What a calculator cannot see
A calculator cannot see your garden, so it works from typical rates. Sloping ground, tree roots, tight access and awkward corners can all add time and cost. A fencer who visits your property can allow for these, and that is why the figure above is a guide rather than a price.
Composite costs more than timber, yet it needs no painting or staining. Consider that running cost when you compare the options. Once you have a ballpark, request free quotes and compare what each installer includes.
Questions about the calculator
How accurate is the fence cost calculator?
It gives a realistic 2026 ballpark based on typical UK supply-and-fit rates. Your actual price depends on access, ground conditions and your installer. For that reason, always confirm the figure with a real quote.
Does the estimate include removing the old fence?
Only if you tick the "remove old fence" option. That option adds a typical disposal and labour allowance per metre. If you leave it unticked, the estimate covers the new fence only.
