The things people actually ring up and ask. If yours is not here, call (08) 7666 0073 and ask — the phone is answered any hour.
It depends on the length of the run, the height, how much fall is in the ground and whether an old fence has to come out first. Two jobs the same length can differ a long way. That is why the measure is free and why the price you get afterwards is fixed rather than an estimate.
Yes, and there is no obligation attached to it. If our number is not the one you go with, that is fine.
Removal and disposal of the old fence where there is one, the dig, the concrete, the posts, rails and sheeting, and the clean-up afterwards. If the ground has to be stepped, that is in there too. What you sign is what you pay.
Not to give you a quote. Payment terms are something the fencer will go through with you when he prices the job.
For a boundary fence, yes. In WA, dividing fences fall under the Dividing Fences Act 1961, and the usual arrangement is that both owners share the cost of a sufficient fence. We can give you a written quote to show them, which makes that conversation considerably shorter.
That is between the two of you rather than something we can settle, and the Act sets out how disputes are handled. What we can do is give you a clear, itemised quote so at least everyone is looking at the same number.
A dividing fence is one fence, so it gets built once and quoted once. How the cost is split afterwards is up to the two owners.
Standard Colorbond fencing runs 1.5m, 1.8m and 2.1m. Most boundary fencing around Joondalup goes in at 1.8m. Front fencing is more restricted and the limits vary with your setback and your local council, so it is worth checking before you commit to anything.
The full Colorbond fencing range. Around here Monument, Basalt, Woodland Grey and Surfmist come up most often. We bring samples to the measure so you can hold them against the house rather than guess off a screen.
The steel itself is built for it. What fails first on a cheap coastal fence is the fittings and the fixings. We use coastal-grade hardware as standard across this whole service area, which is the part that actually decides how long the fence lasts.
It changes how the fence is set out. Run the rails to follow a sloping yard and it reads crooked from the street; step the panels properly and it reads straight. We work the stepping out at the measure and show you what it will look like before anything is ordered.
They decide where a post can go. On the older, bigger blocks around Kingsley especially, it is worth spotting that at the measure rather than on the day the crew arrives with an auger.
Most straight residential runs are a one to two day job once we are on site. Steep or stepped ground, or a fence that has to come out first, adds time. You get the timeframe with the quote.
Yes, and dispose of it. On an older block the demolition is half the work, so it belongs in the quote rather than turning up as an extra once the crew is there.
Sometimes it is a genuine repair — swap the damaged sheets, re-set the post, done in a morning. Sometimes the fence is at the end of its life and patching it is money down the drain. We will look at it and tell you which, even when the answer is the cheaper job for us. We can also put the damage in writing for an insurance claim.
It depends on height, where the fence sits and your local council rules, and front fencing is more restricted than a rear boundary. Worth a call to your council before you commit. We can tell you what we are seeing, but the approval is between you and them.
This site covers Colorbond. WA Fencing and Retaining, who operate it, also do limestone and block retaining walls, pool fencing, slat and aluminium, gates and commercial security fencing. Ring the same number and it goes to the same team.
Joondalup, Currambine, Ocean Reef, Heathridge, Kingsley and Woodvale, plus the suburbs immediately around them. If you are just outside, ask anyway and we will tell you straight away.
Call (08) 7666 0073 any hour, or send it through with your details.
