I'm curious why he's come round to ask.
After the hassle of going to court i wouldn't have the balls to go round and say "want to pay half" - although i know some (ok lots
of) people are far thicker skinned than me.
Possibly he can't afford to replace the fence and is eating humble pie faster than desparate dan eats pies.
the one thing to be careful of is if he gets the fence errected, its done exactly how he wants it. I've heard of plenty of stories of a few
inches being 'accidentally' being lost when fences are errected.
Perhaps you should go round and have a chat. Explain that after the hassle he caused taking you to court you are under no obligation to pay anything
and should technically be putting a claim in for the damage his fence caused to your garden. Obviously you're not that petty and won't do
that, so how about a deal, you'll pay a token amount, say 100 / 150 quid and let the fence errectors come onto your side of the boundry, for
that you'll get the right to paint your side of the fence & if you need a hand just give me a shout.
how does that sound?

For certain he will have to ask your permission for access to preserve your side of his fence
This one is the best...
Your side of his fence...
hahahaha
how confusing can it be..
Anyway ask him tonight wy he wanted the ownership and what hees gonna do with your damage...
a cheap fence will be one wich is blowing away every moment..
you could also sign with him an agreemant that your side is yours and his is his...
and then pay for the fence..
anyway its a b**lch*t thing to talkabout if you have a normal relation ship i mean the otherside of the fence (your side) altough being his he even
cant see it..
sow cant think about anyreason wy you couldn't pay/hang flours on it... etc..
Tks

1500 quid for a fence  If anything is taking the wee that is.
Has he got any gnomes you could steal? Or you could take up a musical instrument to pass your spare time, I hear the drums are fun?

I recently had 100ft of fencing fitted, 6ft high, including taking out a wall, an old fence and 30ft of hedge. It was about 1/3 of that cost from
memory. I didn't have the cheap slot in stuff either.

Or electric guitar and an amp that goes to 11 
£1500 for a fence? Is it gold plated. If he doesn't replace it I wonder if you get a nice one put up and claim against his house insurance.
Though be careful you have to put any disputes with neighbours on the forms when you sell your house. A sh*t neighbour really puts off buyers.

i have a grumpy old man over the road, technically one of us due to his history of welding and fibreglassing but he is very hard work. Always is rude
and ignores my wife etc, pulls his car out to stop people parking opposite, complained that my fence was too plain! D: Take them as they come i guess,
he lent me his lawnmower and i broke it

You fence it must be plain, I never even noticed it.
As for his lawn mower, I though you had a spare ZX9?
You still got that prop?
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!
