FAQ
Wexford fencing contractor pricing questions, answered
Common questions about fencing contractor pricing in Wexford, with answers framed for tradies pricing their own work.
Per-metre installed: standard timber (closeboard, lap, picket) EUR 65-EUR 130; premium timber (oak post-and-rail, hand-built closeboard) EUR 110-EUR 220; composite EUR 130-EUR 240; coastal marine-grade premium 10-20% over standard. Heritage stone wall restoration EUR 320-EUR 720/lm. State CIRI registration and Wexford County Council planning requirement (walls over 1.2m roadside) on every quote.
For work over EUR 42,500, CIRI registration. Wexford County Council planning required for boundary walls over 1.2m on roadside frontage. Print CIRI number on every commercial quote and state planning requirement on residential walls over 1.2m roadside.
Yes, niche premium. Wexford Town Centre inside the medieval walls retains stone garden walls (granite, sandstone) and lime-rendered boundary walls. Quote heritage stone wall restoration at EUR 320-EUR 720/lm including lime-mortar repointing, coping stone replacement and Wexford County Council Conservation Officer coordination. Build a portfolio.
Yes, any property within 1km of the Rosslare coast. Coastal salt-air drives marine-grade fixings (stainless 316, galvanised to ISO 1461), pressure-treated timber and storm-rated post-fixing (concrete-bedded vs spike). Quote coastal premium 10-20% over standard. Cheap spike-fixed fencing fails within 2-3 winters on coastal sites.
Yes, volume driver. Wexford Plains agricultural drives stock fencing (cattle, sheep, deer-proof) and post-and-rail estate fencing. Quote stock fence (sheep wire + barbed) at EUR 12-EUR 25/lm material plus EUR 8-EUR 18/lm install; deer fence (2m mesh) at EUR 35-EUR 65/lm installed; post-and-rail at EUR 45-EUR 95/lm installed. Strawberry-farm polytunnel perimeter is a niche specialty.
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.
Yes for front-yard fences over 1.2m, pool fences (compliance certificate), and many security fences. The contractor should know your local rules and quote any approvals as line items.
