Genuinely local, not a franchise covering the state
Sydenham is 3037, and so are we. That matters more than it sounds: it means the person who comes out to measure your fence is the person who builds it, and getting back to fix something is a short drive rather than a scheduling problem. Plenty of the fencing businesses that advertise here are based an hour away and quote from a map.
A mix of housing ages, and a mix of jobs
Sydenham developed mainly through the 1990s and early 2000s around the Watergardens precinct, with some newer infill since. That gives a spread of work: original timber paling at the end of its life on the older streets, and tidier replacement or upgrade jobs on the newer ones. Colorbond is the common choice when people replace, mostly because it stops the repainting and repair cycle.
What we see go wrong here
The usual failures are the same ones we see across the north-west — posts that were never concreted properly letting go at ground level, and rails that have sagged far enough to pull the palings out of line. Neither is worth chasing with repairs once it is widespread. We will be straight with you about whether a patch will hold.

How we quote
We come out, measure, check the levels and the access, and put a written price in front of you — usually within 48 hours. There is no call-out fee for the visit and no obligation once you have the quote. Materials, removal of the old fence and rubbish are all itemised, so the quoted price is the price you pay.

Questions
Fencing in Sydenham — common questions
How much does fencing cost in Sydenham?
As a guide, $90–$180 per linear metre for Colorbond and $75–$130 per metre for treated pine paling, supplied and installed. Removing an old fence is quoted separately. The written quote is the price you pay.
How quickly can you get out to quote?
We are based in Hillside, a few minutes from Sydenham, so usually within a day or two. The written quote follows within 48 hours of the visit.
Is repairing my fence worth it?
If the posts and rails are sound and it is a panel or two, yes. If the posts have gone at ground level along the run, a repair will not hold and replacement is the cheaper option over any sensible timeframe.
Do you take the old fence away?
Yes. Removal and disposal is itemised in the quote and everything leaves with us.
Who pays for a fence between two properties?
Under the Victorian Fences Act 1968 neighbours generally share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence equally. If you want something above that standard you usually cover the difference.
Do you cover all of Sydenham?
Yes, the whole suburb, no call-out fee — we are in the same postcode. Delahey, Taylors Lakes, Keilor Downs and Hillside too.
