Fence Installation & Repair in Serangoon Garden

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.

Height limits and permit rules vary by locality, and front-boundary fences are often more restricted than rear ones. Corner lots, heritage areas and pool fences have their own rules. Check local height limits and whether a permit is needed before you commit — retrofitting a too-tall fence is expensive.

Setting posts without concrete on a solid fence, no written quote with length and material, vague answers on boundary lines and permits, a large cash deposit before materials arrive, and no photos of past work. Installers who won't discuss the neighbour/boundary question before building are inviting a dispute you'll inherit.

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.

Ask for photos of recent fences in Serangoon Garden 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.

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.
