Colorbond fencing in Rouse Hill, replacing the first-generation estate fences now past twenty years old and matching colours across a whole street.
The estates that went up around Rouse Hill in the late 1990s and early 2000s were fenced all at once, largely in the colours of the day. Two decades on, those fences are showing it. Sheets have been dented by trampolines and basketball rings, the bottom of the panels has rusted where a garden bed was pushed against them, and the colour no longer matches a house that has since been repainted or re-roofed.
Most of our Rouse Hill work is replacement rather than a first fence. That has advantages, because the line is established, the levels are known and we can often reuse the existing gate opening positions. It also has a catch, since a boundary fence belongs to both owners and the neighbour needs to be part of the conversation before anything comes down. We usually quote both sides so the discussion has a real number attached.
Removal of the old panels and posts, new footings, new steel and a swept site are all covered in the written quote. Call 0492 879 796 to book a free measure.
Swapping out twenty year old Rouse Hill estate fencing for current BlueScope colours.
Moving from the pale greens and beiges of the early estates to Monument or Basalt.
Replacing individual damaged or rusted panels where the rest of the run is sound.
Adding slat or lattice height where a neighbouring second storey has since been built.
Runs backing onto the walkways and reserves that thread through the Rouse Hill estates.
New gates hung in the existing openings with heavier hinges than the originals.
Almost always because soil, mulch or turf has built up against the base of the sheet over the years. Steel fencing is designed with a small gap at ground level, and once a garden bed covers that the sheet stays damp and the coating eventually gives way. When we replace a run we keep the base clear and, where a garden bed has to sit against the fence, we install a plinth so the soil is held off the steel.
Genuine Colorbond carries a written BlueScope warranty on the paint finish covering flaking, peeling and excessive colour change over the warranty period, subject to the conditions of the warranty document. Gradual softening of tone over two decades of Sydney sun is normal on any painted exterior surface. The early estate colours around Rouse Hill also simply look dated now, which is why most replacements move to a current darker colour.
A dividing fence sits on the boundary and is jointly owned, so it is not really a matter of sides. Under the NSW Dividing Fences Act 1991 both owners share the cost of a standard replacement. In practice, if a Rouse Hill neighbour is not ready to spend, some owners pay the whole amount to get it done. Serving a written fencing notice first at least records what was proposed and what it cost.
Monument by a wide margin, followed by Basalt and Woodland Grey. The original estate fencing around Rouse Hill was often a lighter beige or green that now clashes with the charcoal roofs and dark window frames people have moved to. Surfmist appears occasionally on lighter homes. Jasper is the warm brown option and works where the brickwork has not been rendered over.
Sometimes. If the existing posts are sound and were installed with enough embedment, a slat or lattice extension can be added above the current sheet line. More often on the older Rouse Hill estates the posts are the limiting factor and a full replacement at the taller height is the safer option. We check the post condition and footing depth before recommending either, whether the existing fence is described as colourbond or Colorbond.
