Replace rotted or broken posts without rebuilding the whole fence.
Collingwood is a mix that keeps fencing interesting. Worker's cottages and terraces through the streets off Smith Street, converted warehouses and apartments closer to Hoddle Street, and a steady stream of renovations where the fence is the last thing on the list and the first thing visitors see.
For Collingwood front fences, a timber picket suits the cottage and terrace housing and fits the heritage streets. For rear courtyards and side boundaries, timber paling at full height is the privacy option, and Colorbond is worth considering where the boundary backs onto a laneway or a commercial property.
Collingwood sits under Yarra City Council.
Do I need a permit for fence repair in Collingwood? A boundary fence under 2.0 metres between neighbours generally does not require a building permit in Victoria. Collingwood is largely covered by heritage overlays through Yarra City Council, so front fences and taller fences should be confirmed with the council first.
How much does fencing cost in Collingwood? Expect Collingwood to price higher per metre than the middle ring suburbs, because runs are short and access is tight. Timber paling starts around $120 per metre inc GST installed. The calculator factors in access, removal and site conditions.
How long does a job in Collingwood take? Most Collingwood courtyard and side boundary jobs are done in one day, sometimes two where the old fence sits on rubble or bluestone and the holes have to be worked out by hand.
Can you remove the old fence in Collingwood? Yes. Removal and disposal of the old fence are part of the install. Cost depends on the material and the length, and hand carry access adds to it, which the calculator asks about.
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.
