It will very much depend on location, which brand of wire used , timber is cheaper in England ,
Oh and remember the " profiteering levy" that most goods now have acquired

No idea, but I have just had an Insurance job done here after a HAAC student fell asleep at the wheel and demolished 12m of hedge and post and barbed. 
Decent creo stakes to carry rails, were over 7 quid each! Strainers over a tenner I believe. rails also silly money. Grant funding really only buys the cheapest shite on the market, which IMO is a pointless exercise

I've been telling people to budget for £10 and hope for £8 but then prices went up another 20/30%
Exactly the problem we can’t quote really.
fencing is getting very hard currently with all the price increases

as a student, was sent to roll a grass ground, no problem, but l did point out l had no lynch pin for the drawpin, told not to worry, so off l went, field was bumpy, on a slope, anyway, pin duly hopped out, roller took off, and 50 meters or more, of 7 strand new barbed wire fence, joined the roller for company, best bit, no one could say a word to me, l had asked the manager for a pin.No idea, but I have just had an Insurance job done here after a HAAC student fell asleep at the wheel and demolished 12m of hedge and post and barbed.

Local lad charges £3 -£3.50 / m for erecting depending on ease of job.
Materials last year worked out was just over £4 m. All good creosoted timber. So the £4.90 grant covers material then. Will be getting new prices shortly

That it’s tan oil, but sold as creosote, there’s a big difference

put a new fence up in 1996, using round and quartered creo stakes, the rounds rotted off 10-12 years ago, the splits are still fine, and being reused.
Early 2000 stock fenced a lot of the farm, waste of time, a lot of those stakes - tanalised never lasted much over 5 years.
Strainers, firm in Dorset, Dorset fencing, do telegraph pole strainers/posts, heck of a lot cheaper than 'proper' expensive ones, been using them for 15 yrs, haven't had to replace one yet.
Few yrs ago, they replaced the poles to our house, after completion, on 'inspection', one was to low, so replaced it, and left the new one there -couldn't be reused ! And we used it in a barn extension, the creo, was very nearly, right to the centre.

I did a few hundred metres here in Wales on my smallholding (so not a big area compared to some of you guys) a couple of months back.
I supplied the posts and strainers etc. and the contractor erected with him supplying the HT wire and a plain strand on top and along the bottom @ £4.00 pm.
Standard treated posts were £1.85 each which I have had standing in barrels of creosote for several months. He said that prices were still moving up though.
He had a nice bit of kit though.

I’m afraid that dipping tanalised posts in creosote doesn’t do the job, they rot off nearly just as quickly, we have a customer that’s has soaked 100’s and it doesn’t seem to make a difference
