## What we do
Prime Fencing Launceston supplies and installs fencing across greater Launceston and the Tamar Valley in Tasmania, Australia. Residential and light commercial. One local crew handles a job from the on-site measure through to the final walk, with no subcontractors.

## Fencing we build

## Guides we have published
- What Decides the Cost of a New Fence in Launceston (https://primefencinglaunceston.com.au/blog/what-decides-the-cost-of-a-new-fence/): Two fences the same length can price very differently. Here is what actually drives the number, so you can read a quote instead of just comparing totals.
- Who Pays for a Dividing Fence in Tasmania? (https://primefencinglaunceston.com.au/blog/who-pays-for-a-dividing-fence-in-tasmania/): The cost of a fence between two properties is generally shared in Tasmania. Here is how to raise it with the neighbour without it turning into a standoff.
- Colorbond vs Timber Paling: Choosing for a Launceston Block (https://primefencinglaunceston.com.au/blog/colorbond-vs-timber-paling/): Steel and timber cost more alike than most people expect, so the real decision is what each one asks of you afterwards. Here is the honest comparison, and a straight recommendation for each situation.
- Why Fence Posts Lean, and How to Stop It (https://primefencinglaunceston.com.au/blog/why-fence-posts-lean/): A leaning fence is rarely a fence problem. It is a post problem, and post problems start below the ground, which is where a cheap quote saves its money.
- Fencing a Sloping Block: Step It or Rake It? (https://primefencinglaunceston.com.au/blog/fencing-a-sloping-block/): Once the ground falls away, a fence either steps down in level panels or rakes to follow the slope. They look completely different, and this is the part of a quote that surprises people most.

## Key facts
- Free on-site measure, then an itemised quote in writing within 48 hours.
- One crew from quote to completion. No subcontractors.
- Every post is set in a concrete footing.
- A dividing fence between two properties is generally a shared cost in Tasmania under the Boundary Fences Act 1908. We provide a written itemised quote that can be given to a neighbour.
- Front fences, corner blocks and heritage areas are the situations most likely to need a council check. We flag them; we are not the regulator and we do not give planning or legal advice.

## What we do not do
- We do not repair or certify retaining walls. We will build a fence on top of one.
- We do not treat an ordinary picket or slat fence as a pool barrier. A pool barrier is built to the pool safety standard or it is not one.
- We do not quote a fence over the phone without seeing the ground.
