Timber ordered, deposit taken

A fence run is mostly materials, ordered and delivered before a post goes in. Take a deposit that covers the timber and the concrete, then invoice on completion with a link that gets it paid the same week.

Overdue invoices chase themselves.

2.5% plus 35p on standard UK cards, with the platform fee inside it.

Both sides of the boundary

A new fence is visible to every neighbour on that boundary and fencing work comes in waves after a bad winter. Keep the job photos and follow up after weather that brings panels down.

Running a fencing business

Fencing is a van of panels, a day rate and the weather. Almost the whole cost of a run is bought and paid for before a single post goes into the ground.

A day on a fence run and where it goes

Part of the dayRoughlyWhat it costs when it slips
Loading and collecting materialsThe first hourA merchant trip mid job wipes out the profit on the run
Taking the old fence outAlways underestimatedConcrete footings double the labour and were never quoted
Setting the postsThe bulk of the workRock or a buried service stops the day dead
Panels, gravel boards and capsQuick once the posts are inNothing, this is the part the customer watches
Clearing the spoilThe last hourRemoval not agreed means a tip run on your own time

Quote by the metre with removal and spoil priced separately, so the conversation at the end is about neither of them.

The weather is your order book

Demand does not arrive evenly. It arrives in the fortnight after wind brings panels down across a whole county. Every contractor in the area is busy on the same Monday morning.

The people who say yes fastest are the ones you have already fenced for, because they know what a properly set post looks like. Contacting them the day after bad weather converts better than anything else you will send all year.

It is also the only stretch of the year when you can hold your price. A quiet April is when discounting starts.

Materials money is not your money

Timber, postcrete and gravel boards are ordered and paid for before the job starts. A contractor funding materials out of his own account across four live jobs is running a small credit business he never applied to run.

Take a deposit that covers what is actually on order rather than a token percentage. Customers accept this readily because they can see the delivery arrive on their own driveway.

Send the balance the moment the last cap goes on. A fence is finished and visibly so, which makes this the easiest trade here to be paid for before you leave the property.
