Fencing in Enfield

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

Fencing in Enfield

A compact inner-west council of Federation and interwar homes on established streets, with apartment growth around Burwood station. Side and rear boundaries are shared and often replace ageing timber paling.

What we install in Enfield

  • Timber fencing – treated pine paling, lapped and lap-and-cap on galvanised steel posts
  • Colorbond fencing – new boundary fences and replacements in 1.5 m to 2.4 m heights, any Colorbond colour, either sheet profile
  • 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
  • Slat and louvre screens – aluminium horizontal slat, vertical slat and louvre fences, screens and gates in any powder-coat colour
  • Retaining walls under fences – treated pine or aluminium sleeper walls built directly under the new fence where levels differ
  • Fence height extensions – 300 mm or 600 mm louvre, lattice, slat or sheet toppers on your existing Colorbond posts

Local notes for Enfield

What we look for at the measure in Enfield – gently undulating, clay soils, mature street trees and many narrow rear lanes.

  • Heritage conservation areas cover much of Burwood – front fences there usually need to match the period style.
  • Access is the usual challenge – materials often come through the house or over the fence from a lane, which we plan for at the measure.
  • Lap-and-cap timber is chosen to match the Federation streetscape in Burwood Heights and Croydon; Colorbond in Monument or Woodland Grey is the modern alternative.

Enfield straddles the boundary of Burwood Council and Strathfield Council; check which council your rates notice names before relying on either set of fence rules.

Burwood 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. Burwood Council's heritage conservation areas (Appian Way, Burwood Heights and others) have front-fence controls that override the exempt rules. Council website.

Fencing questions in Enfield

Do you service Enfield?
Yes. Enfield 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 Enfield?
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. Burwood Council's heritage conservation areas (Appian Way, Burwood Heights and others) have front-fence controls that override the exempt rules. Pool barriers must comply with AS 1926.1-2012 regardless. We tell you what we see on site, but only Burwood 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 Enfield neighbour, and can quote each side separately if you prefer.
Which Colorbond colour suits Enfield?
Monument, Woodland Grey, Basalt and Surfmist are the most chosen colours across Burwood; 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 Enfield?
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.
