Fitzroy fencing is heritage fencing. Most of the suburb between Brunswick Street and Smith Street is terrace housing built well before anyone thought about vehicle access, which means small courtyards, bluestone laneways at the rear and boundaries that were fenced decades ago and never touched since.
That shapes the work. Fitzroy jobs are usually short runs, high privacy fences at the back of a courtyard, and low timber pickets at the front where the property faces the street. Access is almost always by hand through the house or down a laneway, which is exactly the sort of thing that makes a phone quote useless and an honest online price valuable.
EasyFixed prices Fitzroy fencing online in about a minute. You tell us the run, the height and whether the old fence has to come out, and you get a real figure inc GST. Our tradies handle the parts that catch people out here: bluestone and rubble under the boundary line, shared walls, and front fences that need to respect the heritage character of the street.
If you would rather install it yourself, we supply fence kits to Fitzroy addresses. A timber paling kit comes with posts, rails, palings, post caps, concrete and fixings cut to your length, and picket kits suit the front of a terrace. Kits are handy here because a short courtyard run is very doable for a confident DIYer. Price one in the calculator.
How much does timber fencing cost in Fitzroy? Fitzroy fencing usually prices higher per metre than the outer suburbs, because runs are short and access is hard. Timber paling starts around $120 per metre inc GST and climbs where materials have to be carried through a house or down a laneway. The calculator asks about access so the price reflects reality.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Fitzroy? Standard boundary fences under 2.0 metres generally do not need a building permit in Victoria, but Fitzroy is heavily covered by heritage overlays under Yarra City Council. Front fences in particular are controlled. Speak to Yarra City Council before you commit to a front fence design or anything above 2.0 metres.
What is the best type of fence for Fitzroy properties? In Fitzroy the front fence should almost always be a timber picket, painted to suit the terrace. Yarra's heritage controls are strict and a tall modern fence at the front will draw attention. For side and rear courtyard boundaries, timber paling gives you full privacy and suits the period housing.
How long does fence installation take in Fitzroy? Short Fitzroy courtyard runs are often a single day. Anything with hand carry access or old bluestone footings can stretch into a second day. We confirm timing when our tradie calls you within 24 hours of booking.
Can EasyFixed remove my old fence in Fitzroy? Yes, removal and disposal are part of the install. In Fitzroy that often means dealing with an old fence sitting on rubble or bluestone rather than clean soil, which we allow for in the price rather than surprising you on the day.
