Do Gold Coast fences need council approval?
Usually not. The City of Gold Coast says fencing up to 2.0 m above original ground level generally doesn't need building approval. Corner lots, pool fencing and waterfront fencing are the main exceptions, along with title or contract restrictions. We'll check what applies to your block.
Are you licensed in Queensland and New South Wales?
Yes. We hold a QBCC licence for Queensland work and a licence for New South Wales, and we're fully insured. Our licence numbers are on every quote. If you're comparing fencers, look each one up on the QBCC register before you pay a deposit.
Will my Gold Coast pool fence pass inspection?
We build pool fences to Queensland's pool safety standard, which requires a barrier at least 1200 mm high, a gap underneath of no more than 100 mm, and gates that close and latch on their own. On the Gold Coast, pool fencing also needs approval and an inspection.
What does a new fence cost on the Gold Coast?
It depends on the fence type, the length of the run, the slope and access, and whether an old fence has to come out first. Laura can give you an approximate price over the phone. Michael then measures up on site and gives you a formal, detailed quote.
How soon can you start on my fence?
It depends on the time of year and the size of the job. Tell us your timing when you enquire and Laura will talk it through on the first call. We measure custom gates once the fence is in, then build them, which usually adds two to three weeks.
Can you fence a canal-front home on the Gold Coast?
Yes. On the Gold Coast, waterfront fencing inside the waterway regulation line is limited to 1.2 m high. Aluminium and frameless glass suit these blocks well, because they keep the view to the water open. We'll check where the line falls on your block.
Can you build a custom gatehouse to match my home?
Yes, and it's the work Michael enjoys most. His 20 years as a carpenter is why he takes on designs other installers turn down. Send us a photo of your home or an idea you've seen, and he'll design the gatehouse, gates and fence to work together.
Do you repair storm-damaged fences around the Gold Coast?
We take on larger storm damage jobs, which come through most cyclone seasons. We don't do small repairs or general maintenance. If a storm has flattened a section of fence, send photos through the quote form and we'll tell you if it's a job for us.
