How Much Do Fencing Contractors Charge in 2025?
When planning a new fence for your business, school, or public space, one of the first questions that comes to mind is cost. The price of commercial fencing can vary significantly depending on the materials, the size of your site, and the complexity of the installation. In 2025, understanding what fencing contractors charge, and what factors affect those prices, can help you make a more informed investment.
What Affects the Cost of Commercial Fencing?
No two fencing projects are exactly the same, which is why professional contractors like Avium Grounds Maintenance in Swindon start every job with a site visit and consultation. The main factors that influence cost include:
- Type of fencing: Materials like palisade steel, mesh panels, and timber all come with different price points. Palisade fencing is typically more expensive due to its strength and durability, while timber options can be more affordable for lower-security areas.
- Length and height: The longer and taller your fence, the higher the overall material and labour costs.
- Ground conditions: Uneven or hard ground, concrete bases, or the need for additional groundwork can add to the installation cost.
- Access: Sites with restricted access may take longer to complete, increasing labour costs.
- Security and finish: Specialist features such as anti-climb tops, powder coating, or bespoke gate systems also affect the final price.
Average Fencing Costs in 2025
While exact costs depend on your requirements, here’s a general guide to what you might expect to pay in 2025:
| Type of Fence | Typical Cost per Metre (Supply & Install) | Common Use |
| Timber fencing | £60 – £120 | Decorative or low-security boundaries |
| Mesh fencing (V-Mesh or Prison Mesh) | £100 – £180 | Schools and public areas |
| Palisade fencing | £150 – £250 | Industrial and high-security sites |
| Post and rail fencing | £70 – £130 | Parks, rural and open sites |
| Temporary hoarding | £50 – £90 | Construction and short-term works |
These are ballpark figures — Avium Grounds Maintenance provides accurate, itemised quotes after a quick on-site assessment to ensure you get the right solution for your space and budget.
