Does a Hamilton business cover the Coromandel?
Some do for larger jobs and almost none do for small ones — it is a two-hour drive over the Kopu hill. NovaPay asks the businesses working in your town first, and the quote states any travel charge rather than adding it later.
Does my neighbour have to pay half?
For a boundary fence in New Zealand the Fencing Act 1978 generally allows you to seek half from the adjoining owner, but only if you follow the notice process before starting. Talk to them, and put it in writing, before you accept a quote.
What makes pool fencing different?
It has to meet a specific standard and is inspected by the council, covering height, gaps, gate self closing and what can be climbed near it. Say it is a pool fence in your request so only people who do compliant work are asked.
How much does fencing cost per metre?
It moves with material and ground more than anything: a straight run on flat, soft ground is a different job from a sloping site with rock or clay. Say what the ground is like and the quotes come back closer to final.
Do I need a consent?
Usually not for an ordinary boundary fence under two metres, but retaining walls over a certain height and pool fencing are different. A fencer who works in your area will know the council's line.
