Box Hill has changed more than almost any suburb in the east. Around the station you have high density development, and a few streets out you still have original brick homes on quarter acre blocks with mature gardens.
Colorbond suits most Box Hill boundaries and steps neatly where the block falls. Timber paling with hardwood or steel posts is the better match for the older garden streets where the fence sits behind planting.
Box Hill sits under Whitehorse City Council.
Do I need a permit for fence repair in Box Hill? Dividing fences up to 2.0 metres generally do not need a building permit. Whitehorse City Council controls street frontage heights and there are significant tree controls across the suburb, so check before removing anything near an established tree.
How much does fencing cost in Box Hill? Box Hill sits close to the Melbourne average. Timber paling starts around $120 per metre inc GST installed. Mature tree roots and stepped runs are the usual reasons a job prices above the base rate.
How long does a job in Box Hill take? One to two days for a typical residential run. Tree roots slow post holes down, so allow extra where the boundary runs under established canopy.
Can you remove the old fence in Box Hill? Yes. We remove and dispose of the old fence as part of the install, including old concrete footings.
How do I know if my post needs replacing? Press the post at ground level. Soft, spongy or visibly rotten timber means the post should be replaced. Leaning or wobbly posts are also a sign.
Can you repair a few posts only? Yes. We routinely do single-post and small-batch repairs. A $150 minimum call-out fee applies.
