hat is the price of different kinds of fence installation?

Example 1: Installation of 28 linear metres of rigid mesh fencing

💰 Price paid: £150
📏 Price per metre: £5.40

Let's start with a simple request that's often found on Yoojo: having rigid mesh fencing installed!

As you can see in the photo, it's a relatively straightforward installation... which is why they only paid £5.40 per linear metre.

💡Tip: When posting a job on Yoojo, follow this customer's example by specifying the length of the fence to be installed! Your provider can then give you a much more accurate price.

Example 2: Installation of flexible mesh fencing

💰 Price paid: £130
📏 Price per metre: £3.90

One of the most commonly requested tasks involves installing flexible mesh fencing. As this is usually easier than installing rigid mesh, it’s also cheaper.

In the end, the provider installed 32 metres of fencing instead of 16 metres, as you can see in the photo—it was a two-part fence (one upper section and one lower section).

💡Tip: Posting a photo in your job listing really helps your provider accurately estimate the cost of your project.

Example 3: Installation of 130 m² of naterial rigid fencing

💰 Price paid: £350
📏 Price per metre: £7.10

Naterial rigid fencing is probably the hardest type of mesh to install, and therefore the most expensive.

In this case, it involved installation over a large distance of 50 metres for just £7.10 per metre.

💡Tip: When you book a fence installer on Yoojo, you automatically secure a slot in their schedule. It’s important to book enough hours for the service.

💡Tip 2: If you're unsure how long the job will take, don’t worry. On Yoojo, you can modify your job listing or book extra hours directly from your account.

Example 4: Installation of a garden privacy screen

💰 Price paid: £65
📏 Price per metre: £4.30

Already have a fence but need a bit more privacy in your garden? No problem! You can request this service too, like this Yoojo customer did.

It’s quick, simple, and affordable... this customer from Borehamwood paid only £4.30 per linear metre for their privacy screen!

💡Tip: Since many Yoojo providers are your neighbours, you can ask for smaller, affordable jobs that a traditional contractor might not take on.

Example 5: Installation of a wooden panel fence

💰 Price paid: £105
📏 Price per metre: £7.00

Here’s an interesting project: installing a wooden panel fence, metal supports, and posts!

💡Tip: The prices quoted by providers on Yoojo are based on your job listing. Give as many details as possible and don’t hesitate to communicate with the candidates via our integrated messaging system.

Example 6: Installation of a fence on a slope + pouring concrete

💰 Price paid: £225
📏 Price per metre: £8.50

Adding complexities such as a sloping terrain, poor ground conditions, or the need for additional work in parallel will increase the cost of your fence installation.

In this case, the customer paid £8.50 per linear metre, as the provider also had to pour concrete foundations to correctly install the fence.

💡Tip: Don’t forget to mention any potential challenges in your job listing, so there are no misunderstandings on the day of the service.

Example 7: Installation of budget ganivelle fencing

💰 Price paid: £75
📏 Price per metre: £2.00

Looking to install ganivelle fencing? You’re in luck—it's the cheapest type of fence to install… only £2.00 per linear metre in this case!

Take a cue from our customer who had 40 metres of ganivelle installed for just £2.00 per metre… that’s 10 times cheaper than with a traditional fence installation company!

💡Tip: On Yoojo, there are no set prices in advance. Each price is customised depending on the job and the provider’s experience. Don’t hesitate to check out our DIYers' profiles to learn more about them and easily choose the right person for your job!

Example 8: Installation of a privacy screen on a balcony

💰 Price paid: £40
📏 Price per metre: £5.00

Let's finish with an unusual example, as our fence installation service is also available for city dwellers looking for a bit of privacy.

Here, a customer from Edinburgh wanted to remove an old privacy screen and install a new one on their balcony on the 5th floor.

No problem, that’s also a service you can request on Yoojo at a very affordable price!

💡Tip: If you want to save money, remove the existing fence or screen yourself. This way, the provider will have less work, and you’ll pay less!
