About Newtown

Newtown is Victorian terrace country - tight, mostly flat street frontages with original brickwork. Heritage conservation areas dominate.

Brick fences

Brick fences in Newtown.

Most work is restoration or matching new builds: low front fences in face brick or wrought iron, the right reds and salmon pinks of period brickwork, the right tuck-pointing, and pier proportions that fit the terrace rhythm.

What we handle

  • 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

See more on our brick fences page, or talk through styles on the brick fence design page.
