Rough estimate on wooden garden fence?

I’ve not long moved into my first house and I was wondering if anyone can give me a rough idea on what I should expect to pay for a 6 foot high wooden garden fence which would be installed by a contractor/tradesman.

I live in a mid terrace house, on a slope though, so on one side my neighbour overlooks my garden and the other side we overlook them. Currently on the high side there is a 4 foot high old wooden fence that would be replaced totally, on the other side it’s about 2 foot high but a fairly new fence and we would only need a lattice style to be added on top or just an extra small panel to bring the height higher. At the back we have a wooden shed, with a small fence/gate either side that would need replaced with a 6 foot high fence as well. Currently on the high side there is 6 panels of fencing, so overall I would need 7×6 foot panels to cover one side with my neighbour and to also cover one side beside the fence. Plus 1×6 foot gate and also 6x smaller panels/lattice work on the other side

I know this isn’t given actual dimensions of the garden but if anyone has had their garden done by a fencing contractor recently can you give me a rough ball park figure so I know what I can expect to pay.

Before anyone mentions phoning local fencing contractors, I have done similar things in the past for other types of jobs only to be hounded for days from the companies who are looking for work and think if I’m asking for a quote there is potential business. I’m planning to get this job done possibly in a few months and don’t want any hassle from companies who will get hacked off if I’m only asking for a quote.

So please can anyone help me out on what I should budget for?

Contractors locally charge £60 per bay, that’s 1x 5′ panel, 1 x1′ concrete gravel board and 1 post. No idea about the gate though, I’d expect maybe £150.

    When my friend got his which was 20 feet by 7 ft tall with a opening door in the middle cost him 800. It was pretty flimsy after a few yrs…it all depend on the contractor…I’m guessing it would be better if you just paid someone that knows how to do it without having to pay a contractor and buy better material.
