Material
Steel, stainless steel and aluminium differ in material cost, processing and fabrication method.

Fence prices: what affects them and how to get a quote
The price per metre is often the first thing people look for. We do not publish a one-size price list because two fences of the same length can need completely different work. Here we explain what affects the price and how to prepare an enquiry for a more accurate quote.
What affects the price
These eight things change the scope of work the most. The same logic applies to gates, canopies and stair railings.
Length and height
More metres and a taller fence mean more material and work, plus more posts and fixings.
Infill and pattern
Simple bars are quicker to make than wrought motifs, cut patterns or glass.
Gates
Sliding, double and bi-fold gates need a different structure and hardware from pedestrian gates.
Finish
The type of protection and colour affects both how long the look lasts and the price.
Base and fixing
Fixing to an existing wall, parapet, concrete or stone needs different brackets.
Terrain
Slopes, steps and corners change the number of parts and the complexity of the work.
Access and installation
Distance, vehicle access and working height affect how installation is organised.
How to measure for a first enquiry
You do not need millimetre-accurate measurements for a first conversation. This is enough:
- 01
Measure the length of the line
Measure along the line where the fence will stand. If there are corners, measure each section separately.
- 02
Decide on the height
Give the desired fence height and the height of any existing wall or parapet.
- 03
Measure the gate opening
Measure the clear opening between posts or walls and note how much space there is alongside the fence for a sliding gate.
- 04
Note the terrain
Note whether the ground is level, sloping or stepped.
- 05
Take photos from several angles
Photograph the whole line, the entrance and details of the base. Photos often say more than measurements.
What to send
- Photos of the space from several angles
- Approximate measurements: length, height or opening width
- What you want made and in which material
- An example of a look you like
- Installation location
- Approximate timing
What the process looks like
- 01
Tell us what you need
A photo, a sketch or a few sentences. We need to understand the space and what you have in mind.
- 02
Let’s go through the details
We agree on the measurements, material, appearance and other details before preparing a quote.
- 03
We start making it
We turn the agreed design into a fence, structure or custom element.
- 04
We come to install it
We arrange a suitable time and install the finished elements in your space.
Frequently asked questions
Before we begin.
A few answers to help you get started. For anything else, call or email us.
Do you have a price per metre?
We do not publish a universal price per metre. Two fences of the same length can need completely different materials, infill, gates and installation, so we prepare each quote for the specific project.
Can I get a quote from photos alone?
Photos and approximate measurements are enough for a first conversation about the design. A final quote and fabrication need accurate measurements.
Do you come to measure?
We agree on the next steps and any measuring needed during our conversation, depending on the type of work and location.
Does the choice of gate affect the price?
Yes. Sliding, double and bi-fold gates differ in structure, hardware and installation. That is why it helps to say straight away which gate you need.
