Richmond fences take a beating from reactive clay, summer heat and winter rain. EasyFixed gives you an instant online price for fence repairs across Richmond and surrounding suburbs. Tell us the length, the fence type and what is wrong, and get a fixed price inc GST in under a minute.
Replace rotted or broken posts without rebuilding the whole fence.
Richmond fencing is tight block fencing. Between Bridge Road and Swan Street the housing is mostly single fronted workers cottages and converted warehouses, so the typical job here is a short rear courtyard run or a side boundary squeezed between two brick walls.
Timber paling for rear and side courtyard boundaries, and a low timber picket at the front to suit the terrace housing. Colorbond works well where a neighbour already has it and you want a clean match.
Richmond sits under Yarra City Council.
Do I need a permit for fence repair in Richmond? A standard dividing fence up to 2.0 metres generally does not need a building permit in Victoria. Much of Richmond sits under heritage overlays with Yarra City Council, and front fences are controlled, so check with Yarra before building at the front or going taller.
How much does fencing cost in Richmond? Richmond runs are short, so the per metre rate sits higher than the outer suburbs. Timber paling starts around $120 per metre inc GST and hand carry access lifts it. Removal of old fences on bluestone or rubble is priced in the calculator rather than sprung on you later.
How long does a job in Richmond take? Most Richmond jobs are a single day on site. Hand carry access or old footings buried in rubble can push it into a second day.
Can you remove the old fence in Richmond? Yes. Removal and disposal are included in the install price. Old Richmond boundaries often sit on brick and bluestone rubble, which we allow for. Leftover concrete leaves with us, soil stays on site.
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.
