Fence Painting
sound accessible ordinary timber fence surfaces
Service overview
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.
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.
Brush and roller access around rails, posts and tight boundaries affects the work. Show narrow passages and nearby belongings. The chosen ordinary method must suit the surroundings; the service does not imply unrestricted spray application or access to every hidden face.
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.
South Melbourne property context
South Melbourne sits within the existing Greater Melbourne coverage. For fence painting, measurements, product information and access details are more useful than assumptions about the suburb's buildings. Check sound timber, coating compatibility and authorised access before agreeing the sides and preparation included. A useful South Melbourne enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
Planning 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.
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.
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
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.
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.
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.
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.

FAQ
Check sound timber, coating compatibility and authorised access before agreeing the sides and preparation included. Share the exact product specification before purchasing. Appearance alone does not establish suitability. Missing materials or unsuitable supplied products can change the plan or require another visit.
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.
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.
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. Provide any available product information, previous repair history or material details. A photograph supports an initial discussion but cannot confirm hidden condition, internal components or every fixing requirement.
Show fence length and height, both accessible faces, existing finish and nearby plants, paths or neighbouring surfaces. Keep the immediate work area accessible and remove ordinary belongings where safe. Discuss heavy furniture, fragile items and access restrictions before the appointment so the required preparation is clear.
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.
