Heathridge fences built in the 70s and 80s are giving up. We pull them out and put in Colorbond that will still be standing in twenty years.
Nine out of ten fence jobs in Heathridge are timber coming out and Colorbond going in. Old palings out, new steel up, most standard boundaries done inside two days.
Heathridge was built out through the late 1970s and 80s, and the fences that went up with those houses have done their time. Timber palings have gone grey and brittle. Posts have rotted at ground level. Fibro sheeting is cracked and, in a lot of cases, needs handling properly rather than being knocked over with a sledgehammer. If your fence leans after a windy night or you can see daylight through half the palings, it is not a repair job any more. It needs replacing.
Most blocks here are a decent size with a single-storey brick and tile home on them, and the ground is limestone under sand. That is good news for post holes because limestone holds a post well once it is set, but some Heathridge blocks undulate more than people expect. A fence run that steps down a slope needs to be set out properly so the top line looks straight instead of wandering. Where the fall is steep, a low limestone or concrete sleeper retaining wall along the boundary sorts the level first and gives the fence a clean base to sit on.
We handle both sides of that in one go. The same crew that builds the retaining wall comes back and puts the fence on top, so there is no waiting on a second trade and no arguments about who got the levels wrong. Every job starts with a free on-site measure. We walk the boundary, check the ground, work out what has to come out and what can stay, then give you a fixed-price quote. The price you sign is the price you pay.
We work right across the northern corridor, so if your job runs over a shared boundary with a neighbour in Beldon or Connolly we can quote both sides at once. Edgewater, Ocean Reef and Joondalup are all on the regular run too.
If your Heathridge fence has been on the to-do list for a couple of summers, get it measured. Call 0426 858 978 and we will come out, take the numbers and give you a straight price with no pressure attached.
Colorbond is the default replacement in Heathridge for good reason. It does not rot, it does not need painting, and it holds a straight line for decades. We set galvanised posts into the limestone, run rails to suit the height you want, and screw the sheeting so the fixings sit tidy instead of dimpling the panels.
Colours are matched to what is already on the street where you want it to blend in, or picked fresh if you are redoing the whole yard. Standard boundary height is 1.8 metres. If you want more privacy or you back onto a walkway, we can go higher with an extension or a lattice top.
Replacing a shared boundary fence is the most common call we get from Heathridge. The old timber has usually been up since the house was built, and both neighbours have been putting it off. We handle the demolition, cart the old material away, and leave the site clean.
If the fence is shared, we can quote it so both parties can see exactly what they are paying for. That makes the neighbour conversation a lot easier. Old fibro is removed and disposed of the right way, not dumped in a skip out the front.
Plenty of Heathridge blocks sit a bit higher or lower than the one next door, and after forty years the sand has moved. A retaining wall stops the creep and gives you a flat, usable yard instead of a slope you cannot do anything with.
We build in limestone block, concrete sleeper and panel-and-post. Limestone suits the look of the older homes here and sits well against brick and tile. Concrete sleeper is quicker and cheaper for a straight run. We will tell you which one makes sense for your block rather than pushing the dearer option.
A gate takes more abuse than any other part of a fence. It gets slammed, swung on and left open in the wind. Cheap gates drop out of square within a year and then they drag on the ground or refuse to latch.
We build gates on a welded frame with proper hinges so they stay square. Single pedestrian gates, double driveway gates, sliding gates for tight frontages, and automated setups if you want to open the driveway from the car. All matched to the fence so it reads as one job, not a gate stuck onto a fence.
If you are putting a pool in or bringing an old barrier up to scratch, the fence has to meet AS1926 and pass a council inspection before you can fill it. Gaps, gate latch heights and climbable objects near the barrier are what usually fail an inspection.
We install frameless and semi-frameless glass for the look, and flat-top aluminium where you want something more practical and cheaper. Both are built to the standard, with self-closing and self-latching gates set at the right height so the inspection is a formality.
We work right through the streets around Heathridge too. Same crew, same fixed-price quote.
