New dividing fences, driveway gates and repairs for Stafford's post-war blocks, duplex sites and rental homes, built from our Geebung workshop a short drive north.
Stafford's old quarter-acre blocks are changing. A back lot gets sold off, a duplex goes up, or a new house lands beside a 1950s cottage. Each change leaves a boundary that needs a fresh fence. Sureline Fencing has made chain wire fences and steel gates since 1996, and we handle fencing in Stafford for owners, builders and landlords alike. We measure the new line on site, give a free written quote you can show the neighbour, and build gates to the opening. Call to book fencing in Stafford.
Our crews work across Stafford Road, Webster Road and Appleby Road, and into the suburbs that border them. Fencing in Stafford and its neighbours runs from our Geebung base, so a property just over the line gets the same service as fencing in Stafford itself.

Two out of three Stafford dwellings are still separate houses, yet close to half of all homes are rented and about a quarter are flats. That mix tells you where fencing in Stafford is heading. Big post-war yards are being divided, and every new lot line needs a fence both owners can live with.
We build chain wire boundary fences along new survey lines, fit gates to new driveways and fix the tired fences that remain on older lots. If one owner is building and the other isn't, our written quote gives both sides the same numbers. That makes fencing in Stafford easier to agree on and quicker to finish.
A 1950s fence was built for one family on one big yard. Once a block is split, that fence may run the wrong way, sit on the wrong line or stop halfway down a new driveway. Fencing in Stafford now often means pulling out an old run, finding the pegs and building a fresh boundary between a long-time resident and a new neighbour.
We started in Northgate in 1996 and moved to larger premises in Geebung in 2006 so we could make more of our own product. Posts, mesh panels and gate frames come from our workshop, which helps when a builder's handover date is fixed. As a fence contractor Stafford owners can reach quickly, we also take the small jobs, like one leaning panel beside a new slab. Every quote for fencing in Stafford starts with a free visit.
Gate frames and fence parts are built in our own workshop a short drive north of Stafford.
39 Basalt StWe itemise every run and gate so two owners can split the cost with no guesswork.
Written & itemisedNew driveway openings get a steel gate made to the measured width, with a 48-hour turnaround available.
Built to sizeA single post, a slack run or a dropped gate still gets a visit from our crew.
Minor work coveredChoose galvanised, black powder-coated or PVC-coated mesh, made in line with Australian standards.
Matched to the streetThese services for fencing in Stafford cover the jobs that come with a changing block: new lot lines, new driveways and older fences on lots that haven't changed yet. Fencing in Stafford is quoted after a free measure.
When a block is subdivided, the new boundary usually has no fence at all. Our subdivision fencing work follows the surveyed line, sets posts in concrete and tensions the mesh so it stays straight between the old house and the new build. We can stage the work around a builder's program so the site stays closed while construction runs.
Best for: subdivided blocks, owner-builders and new neighbours
See chain wire fencing optionsDuplex fencing has to split one site into two private yards without making either one feel boxed in. We run chain wire fencing Stafford duplexes can use down the shared side, add separate pedestrian gates for each dwelling and match the finish on both halves. Black powder coat keeps the line quiet against gardens.
Best for: duplex owners, investors and small builders
Browse our gate rangeA split block often gains a new driveway down the side of the original house. We make driveway gates in our workshop to the width you actually have, as swinging pairs or single leaves, or as a sliding gate where there is room to run it. Steel frames can take timber palings to match a neighbour's fence.
Best for: new side driveways and battle-axe lots
With nearly half of homes rented, many of our fence repairs Stafford calls come from landlords and agents. We straighten or replace posts, re-tension mesh, rehang gates and fit new latches so the yard is secure for the next tenant. Rental property fencing is repaired in sections, so only the failed part gets replaced.
Best for: landlords, agents and investors
See fence and gate repairsSome owners build their own share of a new boundary. Our Geebung counter sells mesh, posts, rails, fittings and DIY kits, and the people selling them install the same gear every week. Tradies and owners pick up fencing supplies Stafford jobs need with advice included.
Best for: owner-builders and trade buyers

Stafford sits about 9 km north of the CBD, west of Lutwyche Road and along Kedron Brook. The Queensland Housing Commission built homes here on quarter-acre blocks in the 1940s and 1950s, near the old tram terminus around Lutana and Buddina Streets. Original Queenslanders still stand among them. Today about 6,978 people live in the suburb (ABS 2021).
Large post-war yards are the reason fencing in Stafford keeps changing. When an owner splits a block, builds a second dwelling or sells to a developer, old fences end up on the wrong line. A new house may sit hard against a 70-year-old cottage with only a sagging wire fence between them. Around Sparkes Hill, some blocks slope, so post heights need care.
A new neighbour and a long-term owner rarely want the same fence or budget. Queensland law expects adjoining owners to split a sufficient dividing fence fifty-fifty, and a vague quote can stall that conversation. On rentals, a gap in the fence becomes the agent's problem fast.
For fencing in Stafford, we start by confirming the boundary on site and checking old footings. Then we price each run and gate separately, so both owners can see what they are paying for. That keeps fencing in Stafford simple for all parties.

These come up again and again on quotes for fencing in Stafford, especially on blocks that have just been split or rebuilt. Most have a clear fix once we see the site and the fencing in Stafford that is already there.
Post-war fences were often set by eye across one large yard. After a subdivision, the surveyed line can sit well off the old fence.
A fence on the wrong line can cause disputes with the new owner and confusion when either lot is sold.
We work from the survey pegs, remove the old run and build the new fence on the true line. Signs to watch for: pegs sitting away from the fence, or a neighbour's plan that doesn't match what's on the ground.
A new build often needs a new fence, and the builder or new owner asks the existing neighbour to pay half.
Under the Neighbourhood Disputes (Dividing Fences and Trees) Act 2011, neighbours contribute equally to a sufficient fence. Written notice starts a one-month window to agree, and QCAT can decide if you can't.
Boundary fence cost sharing is easier with a clear specification. Our itemised written quote gives both owners the same height, finish and price to agree on.
Excavators, trucks and pallets of bricks put a lot of pressure on a boundary. Posts get knocked out of line and mesh gets stretched or torn.
A damaged fence leaves your yard open to a building site and gives pets an easy way out.
We assess what can be saved, replace bent posts and re-tension or replace the damaged mesh. If the whole run needs replacing, we can build the new dividing fence Stafford neighbours share once heavy work is done.

Get a Free QuoteYes. Fencing in Stafford often follows a subdivision, and we work from the survey pegs to put the new fence on the true line. We can remove the old fence, build the new boundary and add gates for any new driveway. Tell us the builder's timing so we can plan around it, and let us know which side each owner wants the posts on.
Queensland's Neighbourhood Disputes (Dividing Fences and Trees) Act 2011 says adjoining owners contribute equally to a sufficient dividing fence. The owner who wants the work gives written notice, and there is one month to agree. If you can't, QCAT can decide. With one itemised quote in hand, you are both discussing the same fence, which makes fencing in Stafford much easier.
Chain wire works well between duplex halves because it is quick to install, easy to repair and keeps sightlines open. Black powder coat looks neat beside new builds. We add a pedestrian gate for each dwelling and a driveway gate where needed. If you want more privacy, steel-framed gates can take timber palings.
Usually not. Brisbane City Council requires building approval if the fence, any screen and any retaining wall together are more than 2 metres above natural ground, or if the fence is part of a regulated pool barrier. A City Plan overlay or neighbourhood plan can change that, so look your lot up before you build. We'll mention anything that looks unusual.
It depends on run length, height, mesh and finish, the number of gates, the slope and whether an old fence has to come out. We don't guess. We measure on site for free and send a written, itemised quote. When you compare quotes, make sure each one prices the same height, finish and gate count.
Your start date comes down to how big the job is and how busy we are, so we'll give you a real date when we quote. A custom gate can be ready in 48 hours, and our Geebung workshop is a short drive from Stafford. Call (07) 3865 8100 to book a free measure and get your job on the calendar.
Stafford was first known as Happy Valley. After a public push in 1885 and 1886, it was renamed after Staffordshire. Chinese market gardens worked the area from 1857, and the Blackall bridge crossed Kedron Brook on Webster Road in 1870. Stafford State School opened on 25 May 1886. Trams ran from 1940 to 1968 on what is described as the last completely new tram line built in Brisbane. Gibson's Tannery closed in 1982, and Stafford City shopping centre opened on its site in March 1984. We deliver fencing in Stafford from our Geebung workshop.
