Old fence coming down in Alexander Heights? We replace it, and we can sort the pool barrier while we are there.
Most fences around here went up with the house. Thirty-five years of Perth sun later, they are done. We take the old one out and put the new one up, usually inside a couple of days.
Almost every fence in Alexander Heights is hitting the same wall at the same time. The suburb was built out through the 1980s, and the fences that went up with those houses have now done thirty-five to forty years of Perth sun, wind and rain. Steel goes thin at the base, timber rots off at ground level, and posts start to lean. Once one section drops, the rest usually follows within a season or two.
This is a family suburb of single-storey homes on flat blocks, and the ground is the same sandy soil you find through the rest of the City of Wanneroo. Flat and sandy is easy to work with, which keeps a job moving, though sand will not hold a post on its own so every post goes into concrete. Backyard pools are reasonably common around here too, and they bring their own rules. A pool barrier in WA has to meet AS1926 and be signed off by a council inspector, so it is not something worth guessing at.
Retaining and fencing come from the one crew, which keeps things simple. You get a free on-site measure where we walk the boundary, check the levels and flag anything that needs doing before a fence can go in. After that you get a fixed price. What we quote is what you pay, and we tell you upfront how many days we will be on site.
Alexander Heights sits right in the middle of a run of suburbs we are in most weeks. Marangaroo, Girrawheen, Ballajura, Landsdale and Koondoola are all on the same route for us, so getting a crew to your place is rarely a long wait.
Whether it is a whole boundary, one failed run or a pool barrier that will not pass, call 0426 858 978 and we will come and have a look. The measure costs you nothing, and there is no pressure once you have the number.
Plenty of homes in Alexander Heights have a pool out the back, and every one of them needs a barrier that meets AS1926. We install frameless and semi-frameless glass panels and flat-top aluminium pool fencing, set out so the gaps, heights and non-climbable zones are right before the inspector turns up.
If your existing barrier has been knocked back, we can usually fix what is wrong rather than start over. The common ones are a gate that does not self-close, a climbable object sitting too near the fence, or panels that have dropped out of level over the years.
The ground through Alexander Heights is mostly flat, but a lot of backyards have been built up for a patio, a pool surround or a shed pad. Those levels need holding, and that is the job a retaining wall does.
We build limestone block, concrete sleeper and panel and post walls. Sand drains fast, but it also washes out from behind a wall with no proper drainage, so aggregate and a drain line go in as standard rather than as an extra on the invoice.
Colorbond is the straightforward replacement for a 1980s fence. It goes up fast, it never needs painting, and it will outlast whatever came off the property. Standard height is 1.8 metres, and we can go taller along a rear boundary or a public path.
Taking the old fence away is part of the job, so you are not left with a pile of rusted sheeting on the verge. If the fence is shared, we can quote both sides and deal with your neighbour directly so you are not stuck in the middle.
Aluminium slat fencing suits a front boundary where you want a bit of see-through without giving up privacy. It comes in a range of colours and slat widths, and the gap can be set to whatever balance of light and screening you are after.
It is light, it will not rust, and it makes a tidy matching gate and fence across a driveway. A lot of owners here run slat out the front and Colorbond down the sides to keep the cost sensible.
Every gate we hang is built to match the fence it sits in. Single pedestrian gates, double gates wide enough for a trailer or caravan, sliding gates where there is no room to swing, and automated gates with a motor and remote.
Pool gates are their own thing. They have to self-close and self-latch from any position, with the latch at the right height. We set those up and test them so there is no drama on inspection day.
We work right through the streets around Alexander Heights too. Same crew, same fixed-price quote.
