Local notes for Petersham

Ground and access shape the price more than anything else in Petersham: undulating, clay soils, narrow side passages and rear lanes; many fences are shared along the full depth of the block.

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.
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.

Fencing questions in Petersham

Do you service Petersham?

Yes. Petersham 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 Petersham?

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 Petersham neighbour, and can quote each side separately if you prefer.

Is the ground in Petersham a problem for posts?

Undulating, clay soils, narrow side passages and rear lanes; many fences are shared along the full depth of the block. Where we hit rock we core the hole or use flanged posts; where levels differ we build a sleeper retaining wall under the fence. Both are priced up front.

How soon can you start in Petersham?

Usually within one to two weeks of you accepting the quote, weather permitting. Most residential fences are finished in one to two and a half days.
