Replacing a tired or storm-damaged fence is one of the most common garden jobs in the UK. The total depends mostly on how much fencing you are replacing and what you replace it with.
Typical fence replacement cost by garden size
| Run length | Typical installed cost |
|---|---|
| Up to 10m (small garden) | £900 – £1,600 |
| 15–20m (average garden) | £1,300 – £3,000 |
| 30m+ (large / corner plot) | £2,800 – £5,500 |
What's included in a replacement
- Removing the old panels and posts
- Disposing of the old fence (waste/tip charges)
- New posts (concrete or timber), set in postcrete
- New panels and gravel boards
- Labour and finishing
Should you reuse the old posts?
If your existing concrete posts are sound, replacing just the panels is much cheaper — often £35–£70 per panel fitted. But if posts are leaning, cracked or rotten timber, replacing them at the same time is far more cost-effective than coming back later.
Ways to keep the cost down
- Replace like-for-like where posts are sound.
- Choose concrete posts and gravel boards for the longest life and fewest future repairs.
- Clear access and move plants/pots before the team arrives.
- Compare local quotes — prices for the same job vary widely between installers.
