Essendon has some of the best presented streets in the inner north west, and the fencing reflects that. Californian bungalows and solid interwar brick homes on wide blocks through the streets off Buckley Street and Mt Alexander Road, with owners who care what the front boundary looks like.
In Essendon, Colorbond and timber paling are the popular choices for side and rear boundaries, and a well built timber picket or feature fence is the right call at the front on the bungalow and interwar streets. Merbau or hardwood upgrades are common here where the fence is visible from the street.
Essendon sits under Moonee Valley City Council.
Do I need a permit for fence painting in Essendon? Boundary fences under 2.0 metres between neighbours generally do not need a building permit in Victoria. Moonee Valley City Council applies lower height limits to street frontages and has heritage controls in parts of Essendon, so check before building at the front.
How much does fencing cost in Essendon? Essendon blocks are wide, which helps. Timber paling generally starts around $120 per metre inc GST installed, Colorbond slightly higher, and premium hardwood front fencing costs more again. The calculator prices your specific job.
How long does a job in Essendon take? Most Essendon jobs up to 20 metres are completed in one to two days. Good side access on the standard block here means fewer surprises.
Can you remove the old fence in Essendon? Yes, we remove and dispose of the old fence as part of the installation. Cost depends on material and length. Old fences here often have deep concrete footings, which we allow for in the price.
What's the difference between paint and stain? Stain soaks into the timber and shows the grain, paint forms a film and hides the grain. Stain is usually best on hardwood, paint on pine.
Can you do both sides? Yes, the calculator has a one-side or both-sides option which is priced accordingly.
