About Balgowlah

Balgowlah's mix of inter-war and post-war brick homes sits on leafy blocks that often slope toward Manly Cove. Salt-air exposure is a factor.

Brick fence work is typically pier-and-panel runs in face brick or render, frequently combined with low retaining. We use durable brick selections.

  • 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

Retaining walls

Retaining walls in Balgowlah.

Retaining work pairs with brick fence courses at the front boundary; backyards often need levelling pads cut into the slope. Concrete block with rendered or painted finishes is standard, with durable specifications for the salt.

What we handle

  • Site assessment and engineered design
  • Demolition of existing structures
  • Excavation and concrete footings
  • Reinforced concrete block construction
  • Drainage and tanking
  • Render, paint, or face-block finishes
