Old fence removal
An old fence that's half buried in ivy, leaning, or still sitting on its original posts and concrete footings needs to come out properly before anything new goes in. Pulling it out and getting rid of it is its own job, separate from the new fence itself.
What the job involves

What's included
- On-site assessment of the old fence and what needs removing
- Written quote with removal costed as its own line
- Pulling out old posts and concrete footings

Before you get in touch
Do you sort out the neighbour's share of a dividing fence?
We'll give you a quote that shows each side's share, which makes the conversation easier. The agreement itself is between you and your neighbour.
How long does a new fence take?
A typical suburban boundary is usually up in a couple of days, plus time for the post concrete to set. Rural runs depend on the length and the ground.
Can you fence a steep or rocky block?
Yes, that's a lot of what we do around here. We'll step or rake the fence to suit the slope and tell you upfront if the ground looks like it needs extra work.
Do you take the old fence away?
Yes, removal and disposal can be included in the quote. It's listed as its own line so you can see what it costs.
Colorbond or timber?
Colorbond needs little upkeep and comes in a range of colours; timber is warmer to look at and easier to patch. We'll talk through both when we're on site.
Do you do farm fencing?
Yes. Post and rail, plain wire, ringlock and hinge joint, plus farm and driveway gates, on blocks out towards Lilydale, Coldstream and Wandin North.
How the job is priced
Listed as its own line in the quote so you can see what removal costs separately from the new fence. Priced based on the length of the old fence and what's involved, such as buried concrete footings.
