Replace rotted or broken posts without rebuilding the whole fence.
Preston is a fencing suburb with volume. Big post war blocks through the streets off Gilbert Road and Plenty Road, plenty of subdivided lots and new townhouse builds, and a lot of original fences that have simply reached the end of their life.
Colorbond and timber paling are the two most popular choices in Preston. Colorbond suits the newer townhouse builds and never needs staining. Timber paling is the cheaper option and fits the older weatherboard and brick homes. On the local clay, steel posts under a timber paling fence are worth the upgrade.
Preston sits under Darebin City Council.
Do I need a permit for fence repair in Preston? In most cases a boundary fence under 2.0 metres does not need a building permit in Victoria. Darebin City Council covers Preston, and front fences and any fence over 2.0 metres can need approval, so check with Darebin before you start.
How much does fencing cost in Preston? Preston prices well because the runs are long. Timber paling generally starts around $120 per metre inc GST installed and Colorbond a little higher, with the per metre rate improving over longer runs. Price your exact job in the calculator.
How long does a job in Preston take? Most Preston residential fencing jobs up to 20 metres are completed in one to two days. Larger blocks with 40 metres or more of boundary may run to a third day.
Can you remove the old fence in Preston? Yes. We remove and dispose of the old fence as part of the installation. The cost depends on the material and the length, and long Preston boundaries mean removal is a real line item rather than an afterthought.
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.
