Fence Painting
sound accessible ordinary timber fence surfaces
Hawthorn property context
An occupied Hawthorn property may need preparation before fence painting can begin. Show fence length and height, both accessible faces, existing finish and nearby plants, paths or neighbouring surfaces. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. Hawthorn sits near Burnley, Toorak, Kooyong and Richmond. Fix Nik can review practical maintenance requests across this part of Greater Melbourne, with the job scope and property conditions guiding timing, materials and the appropriate service.
Common situations
Vegetation, stored items and nearby paving can limit preparation and application. Explain what can be moved safely before the visit. The plan should protect adjacent surfaces rather than assume unrestricted spraying or permission to cut back plants on another property.
Outdoor application depends on suitable weather and timber condition. Shade and exposure can affect drying differently along a run. Scheduling should allow the selected product’s requirements rather than promise that every fence can be coated on a fixed date regardless of conditions.
Length and height help define the scope, but rails, posts and returns also matter. Show the complete run rather than one paling. The quote should identify the faces and components to be painted so a single-side price is not read as covering the whole fence.
Planning the work
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
Keep plants and belongings clear while the finish dries, and follow the product’s care requirements before contact or cleaning. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Prepare and coat the accepted accessible timber faces using a suitable agreed fence-paint system and ordinary controlled application. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Show fence length and height, both accessible faces, existing finish and nearby plants, paths or neighbouring surfaces. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.

Service overview
Loose, rotten or broken timber needs separate repair consideration. Paint does not restore support or stabilise a leaning fence. Show defects before the quote so ordinary painting can be distinguished from paling, post or gate work that needs its own scope.
Access to one face does not establish access to the other. State which sides you want coated and show any obstructions. Work is limited to agreed accessible surfaces; painting does not authorise entering another property or removing someone else’s attachments.
Provide the old product if known and show flaking or glossy areas. The new system must suit the existing sound surface after appropriate preparation. Unknown hazardous coatings are excluded, and wholesale stripping should not be assumed inside a routine fence repaint.
Prepare and coat the accepted accessible timber faces using a suitable agreed fence-paint system and ordinary controlled application. Scope limits: Sound accessible timber and authorised faces only. No structural stabilisation, hazardous stripping, assumed neighbour access or uncontrolled spray work.
FAQ
Prepare and coat the accepted accessible timber faces using a suitable agreed fence-paint system and ordinary controlled application. Timing depends on the actual condition, access, quantities and required stages. Any parts or drying requirements are considered when scheduling; a fixed completion time cannot be promised from the service name alone.
Prepare and coat the accepted accessible timber faces using a suitable agreed fence-paint system and ordinary controlled application. The quote identifies the actual item, components and extent of work. An enquiry for one task does not automatically include every related item in the room or property.
Prepare and coat the accepted accessible timber faces using a suitable agreed fence-paint system and ordinary controlled application. List each additional item with its own photos and dimensions. Compatible tasks can be considered together, but grouping an enquiry does not expand the service into electrical, plumbing, structural or other specialist work.
Keep plants and belongings clear while the finish dries, and follow the product’s care requirements before contact or cleaning. Any limitations, unfinished stages or separate work should be explained at handover. Keep relevant product information and tell Fix Nik if the original issue returns rather than making repeated improvised adjustments.
Show fence length and height, both accessible faces, existing finish and nearby plants, paths or neighbouring surfaces. Include a wide view as well as close details, keeping product labels readable. Do not dismantle a difficult or unsafe item just to take photographs; explain the access limitation instead.
Check sound timber, coating compatibility and authorised access before agreeing the sides and preparation included. Unexpected damage, incompatible materials or access limitations should be discussed before extending the work. A photo enquiry is not authorisation for additional tasks or a promise to resolve every concealed problem.
Arrange any necessary access permission before booking and identify the contact who can provide entry. Fix Nik does not determine boundary ownership or resolve neighbour disputes. A maintenance enquiry should keep those arrangements separate from the ordinary coating task.
Show fence length and height, both accessible faces, existing finish and nearby plants, paths or neighbouring surfaces. Include your Hawthorn address and access details so Fix Nik can review the work and explain the next step.
