Fence Installation Services in Melbourne
Pro Tiling Victoria provides fence installation services across Melbourne’s south-east. A quality fence provides security, privacy and adds street appeal to your property. As part of our home renovation services, we install new fences, replace old fencing and carry out repairs for residential properties.
Melbourne homeowners invest in fencing as both a practical necessity and a property improvement. A well-installed fence defines your boundaries, increases privacy and can add significant value to your home. Many customers combine fencing with pergola construction and painting to complete their outdoor renovation in one project.
Types of Fencing We Install
Colorbond Fencing
Colorbond steel is the most popular fencing material in Melbourne. It is durable, low-maintenance and available in a wide range of colours to match your property. Colorbond does not rot, warp or attract termites. It provides complete privacy and withstands Melbourne’s variable weather conditions. Standard height is 1.8 metres for boundary fencing.
Timber Fencing
Timber paling fences offer a traditional look at a competitive price. We use treated pine for durability against rot and insect damage. Hardwood options including merbau and cypress are available for a premium finish. Timber fencing suits older homes and properties where a natural appearance is preferred.
Aluminium Fencing
Aluminium fencing is lightweight, rust-resistant and virtually maintenance-free. It works well for front fences, pool fencing and decorative boundary fencing. Aluminium is available in slat, picket and flat-panel profiles with powder-coated colour options.
Tubular Steel Fencing
Tubular steel provides strength and visibility. Common for front fences, pool fencing surrounds and commercial properties. Galvanised and powder-coated finishes resist corrosion. Tubular steel meets Australian Standards for pool and safety fencing.
Our Fence Installation Process
Site Assessment
We inspect your property, measure boundaries and assess ground conditions. We identify any slopes, rock, tree roots or access issues that affect installation.
Design and Quoting
We recommend fencing materials and styles suited to your property, budget and requirements. You receive a detailed written quote with material specifications and timeline.
Permits and Regulations
We advise on Victorian fencing regulations including height limits, boundary setbacks and neighbour notification requirements under the Fences Act 1968. We help you navigate shared boundary fence obligations.
Old Fence Removal
If replacing an existing fence, we remove and dispose of old materials. Posts are pulled or cut below ground level. The site is cleared and prepared for new installation.
Installation
Post holes are dug to the required depth and filled with concrete footings. Posts are set plumb and aligned. Rails, palings or panels are fitted. Gates are hung and adjusted.
Finishing
All hardware is secured. Gaps under the fence are addressed where needed. The site is cleaned and all waste is removed. We walk you through the completed installation.
Complete Your Property Renovation
Fencing is often part of a larger property update. We offer complementary services to finish the job:
- Combine fencing with pergola construction to create a private, enclosed outdoor entertaining area.
- Our painting services cover exterior walls, fascia and trim so your new fence matches a freshly painted home.
- Pair new fencing with outdoor tiling for patios, pathways and alfresco areas within your new boundary.
- Many customers upgrading their fencing are also renovating indoors. See our bathroom renovations and kitchen renovations for complete home updates.
- For retaining wall and fence combinations, we provide waterproofing to protect below-ground structures from moisture damage.
- Explore our full range of residential tiling services to plan your complete property renovation.
