About Kensington

Kensington's mostly inter-war brick housing sits on flat to gently sloping lots near the racecourse and UNSW.

Brick fences

Brick fences in Kensington.

Fence work is straightforward pier-and-panel face brick or rendered runs that match the surrounding cottages. Low retaining is sometimes needed where the lot steps down to the street, but most blocks are forgiving.

What we handle

  • Demolition of existing fences
  • Concrete footings
  • Bricklaying: face brick, render, paint
  • Piers, capping, decorative detailing
  • Gates and aluminium-slat infills
  • Combined retaining-and-fence builds

See more on our brick fences page, or talk through styles on the brick fence design page.
