12 fence panels on extended concrete posts in Beckenham
Jeremy wanted more privacy in the garden in Beckenham, at the lowest cost possible. Our answer was to keep the existing concrete posts and extend them with wooden posts on top, so taller fencing could go in without replacing them. 12 panels and a new gate, £4,820 including VAT, with materials, labour and waste removal all in.
