Before you hire a fencer
When they join, tradies confirm they hold the licences and insurance their work requires, but we don't independently check those documents at present. We provide the introduction: the business quotes and carries out the work directly, and we don't supervise the work or guarantee the outcome.
- Ask for the relevant NSW licence number.
- Check the licence with NSW Fair Trading.
- Request current insurance details.
- Get the scope, price and timing in writing.
What affects the price
Fencing pricing varies with:
- Fence height. Taller fences need bigger panels and deeper posts, so they cost more per metre.
- Site conditions. Sloped blocks require custom panel cutting or stepped installations that add labour cost.
- Post type. Concrete piers are significantly more expensive than standard steel posts but required in poorly draining or saturated soils.
- Gate complexity. Automated gates with full safety features add significantly to the cost.
Ask about any call-out fee before someone visits, and compare written quotes for the same scope of work.

Does a fencer need a licence in NSW?

Hiring a fencer in Glendenning
Glendenning (postcode 2761) is in the northern part of Blacktown City, which includes the North West Growth Area. A residential suburb near Rooty Hill and Plumpton, with mostly 1980s and 90s family homes.
Homes in established suburbs vary widely in age and construction. If you know roughly when your home was built, or what has been renovated since, mention it in the job description: it helps a business understand what they're likely to find.
Older timber fences can rot at the posts or lean over time. When replacing a boundary fence, talk to your neighbour about the style and cost sharing first, and ask the fencer whether removing and disposing of the old fence is included.
For a boundary fence in Glendenning, talk to your neighbour about the style, height and cost sharing before you order, and confirm where the boundary is. Ask the fencer whether removing and disposing of the old fence is included.
What to put in your request
Say the rough length and height of the fence, the material you'd like, whether an old fence needs removing, and whether it's a boundary fence shared with a neighbour or a pool fence. Don't include your street address in the description.
What to ask before hiring
Confirm where the boundary is before work starts, agree on cost sharing with your neighbour for a dividing fence, and ask whether removing the old fence is included. For a pool fence, ask how compliance will be checked when the job is finished.
Licences and rules in NSW
Fencing is residential building work in NSW, so jobs over $5,000 (labour and materials, including GST) need a licence. Pool fences must meet the Swimming Pools Act 1992 and AS 1926.1, and the Dividing Fences Act 1991 covers sharing the cost of a boundary fence with your neighbour.
Fencing upkeep through the year
Check fence posts at ground level for rot, movement and termite damage, tighten loose fixings, and oil or paint timber fences as the product recommends. Test pool gate latches and self-closing hinges regularly, as they must work at all times.
When a business contacts you, it's fine to ask whether they've done similar jobs nearby and when they could start.
