Thornbury sits between Northcote and Preston and fences like both. South of Normanby Avenue you get Edwardian and interwar housing on narrow blocks, while the north has larger post war homes with wider side access.
Timber paling is the standard for side and rear boundaries in Thornbury. A low timber picket suits the older frontages, and Colorbond is the practical choice for long rear runs.
Thornbury sits under Darebin City Council.
Do I need a permit for fence repair in Thornbury? Fences up to 2.0 metres between neighbours generally do not need a building permit in Victoria. Darebin has heritage precincts through parts of Thornbury, so check before building at the front or going taller.
How much does fencing cost in Thornbury? Thornbury timber paling starts around $120 per metre inc GST installed. Narrow access south of Normanby Avenue and old fence removal both lift the number, and both are asked about in the calculator.
How long does a job in Thornbury take? Most Thornbury jobs are one to two days. Shared boundary jobs sometimes take a little longer to schedule because both neighbours need to agree a date.
Can you remove the old fence in Thornbury? Yes. We remove and dispose of the old fence. Deep concrete footings from older fences add cost, which the calculator accounts for.
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.
