Colorbond fences and gates are what Craigie asks us for most. Owner or landlord, you get the same fixed price and the same crew on the tools.
Sagging gate, rusted-out fence, or a tenant reporting the side access won’t latch? Give us the address and we’ll come and price it.
Most of Craigie went up in the late 1970s and through the 1980s, so the fences here are at the point where repairs stop making financial sense. Timber runs have rotted through at ground level and the early metal fences are rusting from the bottom up. Gates are usually the first thing to go, because they take all the wear and were often hung on a post that was never set deep enough for the job. Once a gate stops latching, the fence stops doing what it’s there for.
Ground conditions vary more here than people expect. Parts of Craigie sit on uneven limestone country, so one block digs like beach sand and the next one hits cap rock a foot down. Homes are single-storey brick and tile on standard blocks, and the mix of owner-occupied and rental stock means we’re quoting two different jobs. Owners generally want the fence to look right from the street. Landlords want something that will not need attention between tenancies, which usually points to Colorbond and hardware that can take a bit of rough handling.
One crew handles the whole job, retaining included, which keeps the timeline tight and stops the finger pointing when levels don’t match up. The on-site measure is free and we do it before quoting, never over the phone. You get a fixed price covering removal of the old fence, tip fees, materials and installation. If we hit rock and the holes take longer, that’s our problem, not a variation on your invoice.
We cover the surrounding suburbs on the same runs, so Padbury, Beldon, Heathridge, Kingsley and Woodvale are all regular stops. That means a short lead time for a measure and an easy trip back if a gate needs a tweak once it’s had a few weeks of use.
Get a number before you decide anything. Call 0426 858 978, tell us what’s failed, and we’ll come out to Craigie, measure it up and quote it fixed price.
Colorbond does the two things Craigie homeowners actually want from a boundary fence: it stays put and it never needs painting. The steel is coated both sides, the posts are galvanised, and there’s nothing in it for termites or rot to work on.
We run standard 1.8 metre fences and go higher where you want privacy from a two-storey neighbour or the noise from a busy road. Colours are matched to the roof or the render, and where you’re only replacing one boundary we’ll match what’s already on the other two so the yard doesn’t end up looking patched together.
A gate gets used a few thousand times a year and a fence panel gets used never. That’s why the gate fails first. Dropped hinges, a post that has worked loose in sandy ground, and a latch that no longer lines up are the three things we’re called out for most often around Craigie.
We hang single pedestrian gates, double gates wide enough for a trailer or a boat, sliding gates where there’s no swing room, and automated gates where you’d rather not get out of the car. Gate posts go deeper with more concrete than the rest of the fence, and the hardware is rated to the weight of the leaf so it still shuts properly in three years.
Some Craigie properties need to be seen into rather than closed off. Front boundaries near the leisure centre and along the busier roads often suit a garrison or tubular steel fence, which keeps the yard secure without turning the front of the house into a wall.
Powder-coated steel handles the weather here without much attention, and the spacings can be set to stop a dog getting out. We can pair it with a matching sliding or swing gate and, where the driveway is on a slope, set the track and posts so the gate runs true along its whole travel.
Where Craigie’s ground rolls, a fence on its own won’t hold the line. Sand migrates downhill, the bottom of the panels ends up buried at one end and floating at the other, and the posts start to lean. The fix is a wall that takes the load before the fence goes anywhere near it.
Limestone block, concrete sleepers between steel posts, or panel-and-post all work depending on height and what the wall has to hold. We dig a proper footing, drain the back of the wall, and then set the fence on top in the same visit so you’re dealing with one crew and one invoice.
Landlords and property managers have a different problem to owner-occupiers. The fence has to be safe, it has to be quick to sort out between tenancies, and it can’t be something that needs oiling or painting every couple of years. Timber lap fencing fails all three tests once it’s a decade old.
We quote in writing so it can go straight to the owner for approval, we work around tenants where the property is still occupied, and we stick to materials and hardware that stand up to being used hard. If there’s a pool on the property, we’ll also check the barrier against AS1926 while we’re there so you’re not caught out at the next council inspection.
We work right through the streets around Craigie too. Same crew, same fixed-price quote.
