Yes, Manor, Hawley Park, Killerisk, and Caherslee outer suburban tract housing drives privacy fencing volume. Quote per-linear-metre: timber pressure-treated €38 to €85 per LM; composite €55 to €120 per LM; chain-link €22 to €55 per LM. Volume work; build relationships with 10 to 20 builders and management companies.
Per-metre installed rates: timber €62-180/m, Colorbond €100-250/m, aluminium slat €155-350/m, palisade €195-450/m. Glass pool fence runs €220-550/m. These are 1.8m heights; add 20-30% per extra 600mm of height.
Colorbond is steel sheet with baked-on colour, lasts 20-40 years, never needs painting, costs 40-60% more than timber. Timber lasts 12-25 years, needs oiling or staining every 3-5 years, costs less upfront. Colorbond wins on lifetime cost; timber wins on aesthetics and immediate budget.
For fencing over €1,560, get 2-3 quotes. Compare material grade, post setting method, height, gate spec, and warranty. The cheapest quote often skips concrete posts, uses sub-grade material, or omits gate hardware.
In most regions, boundary fences are joint property between neighbours; you both pay 50/50 for replacement. Get neighbour sign-off in writing BEFORE quoting work. Some regions have legislated fencing cost-sharing.
