Fence Painting Perth
Fence painting for Colorbond, timber and rendered brick fencing: degreased, primed and coated to hold colour, not chalk out in two summers.
A tired fence undoes a freshly painted house
Boundary fencing is the largest continuous surface on most Perth blocks, and it sits right in the street view. A faded fence can make a freshly painted house look tired.
It also takes the most abuse: full sun, no eave, reflected heat off paving and, near the coast in suburbs like Cottesloe, salt spray. Fencing weathers much faster than the house behind it.
The upside is cost. Fence painting lifts the whole block for a fraction of the cost of an exterior repaint.
Fence types in Perth, and what each needs
Three fence types cover almost every Perth block, from Colorbond runs in estates like Canning Vale to rendered front walls. Each needs different preparation.
How fence painting runs
Usually one to three days depending on run length and fence type.
What fence painting costs in Perth
Fence painting is priced by linear metre and by how many faces are being coated.
We measure on site, because the two biggest price factors do not show in a photo.
Weathering. Heavily chalked Colorbond or badly greyed timber adds a full preparation stage.
Access to the neighbour’s side. It needs their agreement and can change how the job is staged.
A colour change from a dated heritage shade to charcoal looks like new fencing from the street.
Every price is a fixed written figure after we measure your fence, not an average. Quotes are free with no obligation.
Often part of a bigger exterior job
Most fence enquiries come from people already planning work on the outside of the house.
Fence painting questions
Yes, with the right preparation. Colorbond fails by chalking, not peeling, so we wash and degrease the chalk off completely. Then a primer that keys into the existing coating goes on. Paint over the chalk and the new coat lifts within a season. Done properly, it holds its new colour for years, and a colour change costs a fraction of a new fence.
It is priced by lineal metre and by how many faces are coated. Heavily chalked Colorbond or greyed timber adds a preparation stage, and access to the neighbour's side can change the job. We measure on site and give a fixed written price. Coating a Colorbond fence usually costs a fraction of replacing it.
Yes, if they agree. On a corner block, or anywhere the fence is seen from the street, it is worth it, because a one-sided fence looks unfinished. It needs the neighbour's permission and access, so talk to them before we quote. Without access, we finish the top edge and returns cleanly so the join is not obvious.
It depends on what is left of the timber. If the boards are sound and just grey on the sunny side, sanding and coating gives years more life for a fraction of replacement cost. If bottom rails have rotted, palings are splitting through or posts have moved, it needs replacing. We will tell you honestly which you have.
Most residential fence runs take one to three days, depending on length, fence type and how much preparation the surface needs. Heavily chalked Colorbond or badly weathered timber adds a full day of cleaning and preparation before any coating goes on.
