Replacement types
Fence Replacement Options
Timber to Steel
Swapping old palings for steel panels cuts ongoing upkeep.
This is the most common change people ask for.
Front Fence Makeover
Old brick, wire or picket front fences replaced with a new style.
Slats, pickets or rendered piers with infill are all options.
Fibro Fence Replacement
Old fibro sheet fences may contain asbestos.
A licensed removalist takes those out before we build the new fence.

What to Replace Your Fence With
Replacement is a good time to rethink the material.
| Option | Characteristics | Typical applications | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steel panels | Low upkeep and full privacy. | Side and rear boundaries. | Wider post spacing than timber, so the post layout changes. |
| New timber | Warm look, easy to match the street. | Older homes and front fences. | Will need staining or paint to stay looking good. |
| Aluminium slats | Modern look with airflow. | Front yards and screens. | Higher material cost than steel sheet. |
| Wire or mesh | Low cost over long runs. | Large lots and rural edges. | Gives little privacy. |
Planning
Before You Replace a Fence
A few checks make the job go smoothly.
Talk to Neighbours
Under the NSW Dividing Fences Act, a written fencing notice can help agree the work and the cost.
Confirm the Line
If the old fence was off the boundary, now is the time to check.
Check for Asbestos
Old fibro fences need testing or licensed removal before we start.
Plants and Irrigation
Move pot plants and mark irrigation lines along the fence.

Fence Replacement Cost Factors
A replacement quote has two parts: taking the old fence away and building the new one.
| Timber fence, easy access | Fast removal and normal disposal |
|---|---|
| Steel fence with deep footings | More breaking out of concrete |
| Fibro fence | Licensed asbestos removal priced separately |
Heavy old footings and long runs with tight access add the most time.

Fence Replacement FAQ
How long does fence replacement take?
Most suburban boundaries are done in one to three days, including removal. Larger or staged jobs take longer.
Do you take the old fence away?
Yes. Removal and disposal of timber, steel and wire fences is included in the quote.
What if my old fence is fibro?
Fibro fences may contain asbestos. A licensed asbestos removalist must remove it. We then build the new fence.
Can I change the style of fence?
Yes. Many people replace timber with steel or slats. Talk to your neighbour if it is a shared fence.
Will my dog be safe during the job?
We can stage the work or fit temporary panels so pets stay secure.
Should I replace the whole fence or just one side?
If one boundary is failing and the others are sound, replacing just that side makes sense. If all of them are the same age and starting to lean, doing them together often saves on set-up and disposal costs. We can price both options so you can decide what suits your budget and your neighbours.

Replacement guide
When Replacement Beats Repair
If more than a few posts are soft or broken, the rest are likely close behind.
When a fence leans along most of its length, the footings have usually failed. Straightening it rarely lasts.
If you are selling, building a pool or adding a pet, a new fence may also solve a bigger problem.
We will not handle or cut fibro sheeting that may contain asbestos. That job belongs to a licensed removalist.
Most side and rear fences are dividing fences, so the neighbour has a say.
The NSW Dividing Fences Act lets one owner give the other a written notice to fence. It sets out the type of fence and the cost split.
Many neighbours simply agree in person. A written quote helps both sides see the same numbers.
If you want a fence that costs more than a basic one, you may be asked to pay the extra yourself.
We can send separate copies of the quote to each owner and book a date that suits both.
If you cannot agree, Community Justice Centres in NSW offer free mediation for fence disputes.
