Questions from Mile End
Fencing in Mile End — FAQs
Do you cover Mile End for fencing?
Yes, Mile End 5031 is covered: it is about 2.71 km west of the city centre, inside our 60 km zone. We quote from an inspection of the property.
What height can a fence be?
We build to the height council permits without approval. Anything higher, or in a heritage or character area, is reviewed beforehand. Height is locked in during quoting.
How is fencing priced?
Cost begins with the linear metre then moves with height and style, since a standard run and a tall slatted feature are different jobs. Post-line ground and removing the existing fence are separate scope items.
How do shared fence costs work in South Australia?
South Australian law has adjoining owners sharing the cost of a sufficient dividing fence. A neighbour wanting a more expensive fence than sufficient pays the difference. We prepare itemised quotes for the notice.
