Fencing in Alexandria

Alexandria is one of the suburbs we cover in City of Sydney Council – boundary fences, gates, extensions, pool barriers and retaining walls. A free measure in Alexandria, a written quote the same day where possible, and a licensed installer on the tools – that is how every job here runs.

Fencing in Alexandria

The city and its inner suburbs – Surry Hills, Redfern, Newtown, Glebe, Alexandria, Zetland, Rosebery and Erskineville – terraces, warehouse conversions and new apartment precincts on very small lots.

What we install in Alexandria

  • Slat and louvre screens – aluminium horizontal slat, vertical slat and louvre fences, screens and gates in any powder-coat colour
  • Timber fencing – treated pine paling, lapped and lap-and-cap on galvanised steel posts
  • Gates – Colorbond single and double gates, slat, louvre, timber, pool and sliding or automatic driveway gates
  • Fence and gate repairs – leaning posts, storm damage, insurance repairs and gates that will not latch
  • Pool fencing – aluminium flat top and tubular barriers built to AS 1926.1-2012 with self-closing gates
  • Retaining walls under fences – treated pine or aluminium sleeper walls built directly under the new fence where levels differ
  • Colorbond fencing – new boundary fences and replacements in 1.5 m to 2.4 m heights, any Colorbond colour, either sheet profile

Local notes for Alexandria

Ground and access shape the price more than anything else in Alexandria: flat to gently sloping; tiny rear yards, shared walls, rear lanes and minimal vehicle access.

  • Heritage conservation areas cover most terrace streets; front fences are usually palisade or masonry and need approval to change.
  • Most City of Sydney jobs are small and access-critical – rear-lane gates, short Colorbond or timber boundaries and slat screens carried in by hand.
  • Courtyard privacy is the usual brief – slat or louvre screens and 2.1 m fences where exempt.

City of Sydney Council

Under the NSW exempt development rules a boundary fence behind the building line can be up to 1.8 m high without approval on most residential lots. City of Sydney's heritage conservation areas mean front fences on terrace streets generally need approval and must match the streetscape. Council website.

Fencing questions in Alexandria

Do you service Alexandria?
Yes. Alexandria is inside our Sydney-wide service area and we quote there regularly. Site inspections and written quotes are free, and travel is included in the price.
Do I need council approval for a fence in Alexandria?
Under the NSW exempt development rules a boundary fence behind the building line can be up to 1.8 m high without approval on most residential lots. City of Sydney's heritage conservation areas mean front fences on terrace streets generally need approval and must match the streetscape. Pool barriers must comply with AS 1926.1-2012 regardless. We tell you what we see on site, but only City of Sydney Council can confirm what applies to your property.
How is a shared boundary fence paid for?
Under the NSW Dividing Fences Act adjoining owners generally share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence equally. We give you a copy of the quote to pass to your Alexandria neighbour, and can quote each side separately if you prefer.
Which Colorbond colour suits Alexandria?
Monument, Woodland Grey, Basalt and Surfmist are the most chosen colours across City of Sydney; two-tone fences (one colour for sheets, another for posts and rails) cost no more. See the Colorbond colour chart for exact swatches.
Can you remove the old fence in Alexandria?
Yes – demolition and removal of the old timber, Colorbond or brick fence is itemised in the quote, including tipping. Bonded asbestos fencing is handled by a licensed removalist we arrange.
