Honest Work for Tight Blocks and Shared Boundaries
Nundah blocks are tight. Many homes share boundaries with three or four neighbours, and a fence replacement that should take a week can drag on for months if the neighbour conversations aren’t handled properly. We get that.
Our timber fencing Nundah work is built around tight-block reality: clear written quotes you can hand to your neighbour, friendly site visits with adjoining owners where it helps, and a focus on getting the job done well without becoming the source of a new neighbourhood feud.
Why Nundah Homeowners Trust Us with Their Fencing
Nundah is a community-driven suburb — the Village, the Sunday markets, the train station crowd that nods at each other every morning. Our work has to reflect that. We rock up on time, keep the job site clean enough that neighbours don’t grumble, and finish a paling fence properly so it isn’t generating a body corporate complaint two months later.

A Closer Look at Shared Boundary Fencing in Nundah
Queensland’s Neighbourhood Disputes (Dividing Fences and Trees) Act 2011 sets the framework for shared fences. In simple terms: neighbours generally share the cost 50/50 of a “sufficient dividing fence,” and either party can initiate the conversation.
We make it easy. After our site visit you get a written, itemised quote with two or three pricing options (basic, mid-range, premium). You can hand that to your neighbour, and most cost-share conversations are settled in a single chat over the fence.
Beyond Nundah Village, we cover Northgate, Wavell Heights, Banyo, Toombul, Clayfield and Hendra. Same standards, same approach to neighbours, same warranty.

FAQs from Nundah Locals
Below are common fencing questions from Nundah locals about shared boundary costs, neighbour contributions, quote options and site access.
By default, the cost is split 50/50 between adjoining owners for a sufficient dividing fence. "Sufficient" is defined by what's reasonable for the area - a standard timber paling fence in Nundah is the typical benchmark. If one party wants something more expensive, they cover the difference.
You can issue a formal Notice to Contribute under the Act. If there's still no agreement, the matter can be referred to QCAT for resolution. In practice, most Nundah disputes settle once a clear written quote is on the table - the formal route is rarely needed.
You need to give them notice if you're seeking a cost contribution, but not strictly "permission" to replace at your own cost. That said, a brief conversation before the job starts saves a lot of awkwardness mid-build.
Yes - we routinely provide three-tier quotes, including basic, standard and premium options, on Nundah jobs. It gives both parties room to negotiate without re-quoting.
Most installs need no neighbour access at all. Where we do need 30 minutes on their side for corner posts, we ask them ourselves, give clear timing, and keep the disruption to a single short visit.
