What affects a Crawley quote

• Clay ground: deeper, well concreted posts take longer but last far longer
• Tree roots: roots near the boundary can slow digging and may need posts moved
• Removing the old fence: adds about £10 to £30 a metre
• Access: terraces and some new town layouts reach the back garden only through a shared path or alley
• Reusing concrete posts: can bring the price down if they are sound
