Fence Installation & Repair in Bedok New Town

Boundary responsibility depends on your deeds/title, not a universal rule — often each owner maintains one side, or costs are shared for a jointly-owned fence. Talk to your neighbour and check your title before building on a boundary; disputes over line and cost-sharing are the most common fencing headache.

A standard residential run takes one to three days: posts set in concrete need to cure, so many installers do posts one day and panels the next. Rocky or sloped ground, many gates, or removing an old fence all add time. Wet weather that stops concrete curing is the usual delay.

Ask for photos of recent fences in Bedok New Town and, ideally, an address you can drive past — fencing quality shows in post-setting and line, which you can see. Confirm they handle the permit/boundary check and get the length, material and gate count in writing before booking.

Fencing is priced by length (per linear foot or metre) times the material you choose, plus gates, gradient and ground conditions. Material is the biggest swing: chain-link and basic timber sit at the bottom, composite, brick and wrought iron at the top. Always price the full run installed, not just the panels.

Replace a few rotten posts or panels and repair wins on cost. But once a third or more of the posts are failing, the fence is leaning, or the timber is widely rotten, patch repairs become throwing good money after bad — a full replacement is usually cheaper per year of life.

Installed metal fencing runs roughly SGD 90-250 per metre depending on material and finish, with a typical landed-property run commonly SGD 4,000-12,000. Aluminium and powder-coated steel dominate for corrosion resistance.
