Security Fencing

About Our Security Fencing Work in Sydney

Sydney is not a uniform place to work. Between everything from flat river plain to steep sandstone escarpment and reactive shale clay in the west, sandstone and sand through the coast and north, two properties in the same street can need quite different approaches to the same job.

The honest starting point for security fencing in Sydney is that you are dealing with access constraints that vary from a wide western verge to an inner-west rear lane. Everything we specify follows from working with that rather than pretending it is not there.

Every security fencing quote we write for Sydney starts on site, with photographs, levels and a walk of the full run. You cannot allow for coastal salt exposure on one side of the city and cracking clay on the other from a satellite image.

We are based at Wentworthville and cover Sydney regularly. Call 0492 879 796 to book a site visit and a fixed written quote.

Working With Sydney Site Conditions

Tree cover and root zones matter around Sydney. Roots are worked around rather than cut through, both because the tree matters and because a cut root under a footing is a future problem.

Local housing stock is largely the full spread of Sydney housing, from Victorian terrace to new release estate, and that tells you a lot about what is already in the ground: original service runs, old footings and the occasional buried slab nobody remembered.

One thing specific to this part of the greater Sydney basin is a very wide range of housing eras with different original boundary types. It is easy to miss on a first look and expensive to discover once work has started.

How We Approach a Sydney Job

We stage the work so the property stays usable. On a boundary job that means a section is never left open overnight, and on a hard landscape job it means access to the house is maintained.

Everything is measured on site and photographed, and the quote is written from that rather than from a phone conversation. That is why what arrives on the day is what was priced.

Security Fencing Styles Suited to Sydney

Regulation and Compliance in Sydney

We can tell you what usually applies around Sydney, and we will always recommend confirming the current position with the relevant local council before you commit. Controls change, and a wrong assumption is expensive to unwind.

Approvals are administered by the relevant local council, and the controls that matter sit in its development control plan alongside the relevant state provisions. What applies to your street is what counts, not what a neighbour did five years ago.

Common Problems We Are Called To Fix

Ask three contractors for security fencing in Sydney and you may get three different answers. The difference usually comes down to whether anyone has looked at ground conditions that change completely between one side of the basin and the other before pricing the job.

• A boundary that no longer meets an insurer or client requirement
• Gates that have dropped and can be lifted off their track
• Corrosion starting at welds and cut ends on an ungalvanised perimeter
• Cut damage through a wide-aperture chainwire mesh
