Brunswick is one of the busiest fencing patches in Melbourne, and the reason is the housing. Between Sydney Road and Nicholson Street you get single fronted Victorian cottages sitting beside brand new townhouse developments, often on the same block. That mix means most Brunswick fencing jobs are side boundary work on narrow allotments where access is tight and the neighbour's fence is already halfway gone.
EasyFixed prices Brunswick fencing online instead of sending someone out to guess. You enter your run length, height and gate needs, and you get a real number inc GST before you commit to anything. Our tradies know the Brunswick quirks: rear laneway access off Albion and Victoria Street, old brick footings buried along boundaries, and the shared fence conversations that come with a 4 metre gap between houses.
Timber paling is still the default here for side and rear boundaries. Front fences are a different story, because a good part of Brunswick sits under heritage controls where a low timber picket is the safer choice. If you are not sure which side of that line your property falls on, price both in the calculator and we will talk it through before the job is booked.
Brunswick is full of hands on owners, so we also supply fence kits if you want to do the install yourself or stage the work. A typical timber paling kit includes posts, rails, palings, post caps, concrete and all fixings, cut to your run length. Picket kits are available too. Price a kit in the calculator the same way you would price an installed fence.
How much does timber fencing cost in Brunswick? Timber paling fencing in Brunswick generally starts around $120 per metre inc GST installed, with Colorbond a little higher. Narrow access, removal of the old fence and old concrete footings all move the number. The calculator asks about each of those, so the price you see is the price you book at.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Brunswick? A standard boundary fence up to 2.0 metres between neighbours usually does not need a building permit in Victoria. Brunswick is a different case at the front, because much of it sits under a heritage overlay through Merri-bek City Council. Check with Merri-bek before building a front fence or going above 2.0 metres.
What is the best type of fence for Brunswick properties? For side and rear boundaries in Brunswick, timber paling is the standard and Colorbond is the low maintenance alternative. For front fences, especially on the heritage streets off Sydney Road, a low timber picket fits the period housing and is far less likely to cause a problem with council.
How long does fence installation take in Brunswick? Most Brunswick residential jobs up to 20 metres are done in one to two days on site. Tight rear lane access can add half a day because everything gets carried in by hand rather than dropped at the boundary.
Can EasyFixed remove my old fence in Brunswick? Yes. We remove and dispose of the old fence as part of the installation. Cost depends on the material and the length, and old fences set in deep concrete cost more to pull out. Leftover concrete goes with us, soil stays on site.
