Local notes for Balmain

What we look for at the measure in Balmain – undulating, clay soils, narrow side passages and rear lanes; many fences are shared along the full depth of the block.

Lane access is the norm – we carry Colorbond sheets in from the lane and plan the build around parking and neighbours.
Slat and louvre screens over existing fences are popular for privacy on tight blocks in Balmain, Rozelle and Marrickville.
Lap-and-cap timber suits the Federation and Victorian streetscapes of Haberfield, Summer Hill and Dulwich Hill; Colorbond in Monument is the low-maintenance choice on rear boundaries.

Fencing questions in Balmain

Do you service Balmain?

Yes. Balmain 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 Balmain?

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. Inner West Council has many heritage conservation areas (Haberfield is entirely heritage-listed) with strict front-fence controls. Pool barriers must comply with AS 1926.1-2012 regardless. We tell you what we see on site, but only Inner West 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 Balmain neighbour, and can quote each side separately if you prefer.

Can you remove the old fence in Balmain?

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.

Do you do supply only?

Yes. Colorbond panels, aluminium flat top and slat kits and gates can be supplied to Balmain for you or your builder to install – ask for a supply-only price on the quote form.
