Custom Brick Fencing
Custom brick fencing combines durability and aesthetic appeal, offering security and privacy. Our designs use high-quality bricks resistant to weather, pests, and fire. Each fence is tailored to match your property's style, with options for traditional or heritage aesthetics. The low-maintenance solution adds long-term value to your home.
Custom Steel Fence Work
Steel fencing provides strength and elegance, ideal for security and noise reduction. Our custom designs include ornate scrollwork, pickets, and gates. Steel's durability ensures minimal maintenance, resisting rot, pests, and fire. Perfect for modern or heritage properties, enhancing both functionality and curb appeal.

Aluminium fencing offers corrosion resistance and low maintenance, ideal for coastal areas. Available in powder-coated finishes, our designs include balustrades, slats, and privacy screens. Lightweight yet strong, they suit residential and commercial properties, combining style with practicality for long-term use.

Durable materials ensure reliability, adding value and modern functionality to residential and commercial properties.

Unfortunately our experience with Custom Built Fences has not been a smooth one. We should have placed more consideration onto these reviews before we chose to go with them!
- Got sold on the fact we would have someone managing the overall process, but we never got allocated a construction manager.
- Brickwork is sub-par. Mortar has large cracks and holes throughout.
- Brick cleaners have left acid burn all over the bricks. I had to engage another cleaner myself to try and remove some of the discolouration.
- Steelwork took over 17 weeks to get installed. I appreciate covid caused delays for

I am extremely pleased with these folks. They have been very patient with me and all. They handled every step of the process with very high level of professionalism. Each of their worker is not only polite but highly skilled. The products that they used including the gate motor and pedestrian gate lock handle, are of high grade. My neighbours have nothing but praises for the way the work was carried out and the final product. Well done Darko. I have no hesitation recommending you to my family and friends. Keep up the good work.

Employed Custom Brick Fences to build our fence. Unfortunately for us this was the worst decision we have made. Custom Brick Fences made multiple mistakes and with each mistake bricks had to be cut out and the fence rebuilt in those sections. In the end the fence was not compliant to the design we had. Nick the construction manager was an arrogant individual and very rude. Darko the owner wasn't much better. He was poorly organised and his sub contractors really have the run of the mill. This was evident as Nick was allowed to continue on the job despite all his mistakes.

My husband and I are delighted with our new front fence. You delivered well above our expectations. We know the permit stage was frustrating for us and you guys but that's councils for you! Once it was approved everything went up in 6 weeks. Would highly recommend you guys if people want to deal with professionals that know their stuff.

Little did I know when started this (what I thought) simple project how complicated some builders made it. I was blessed to meet up with Darko who simplified the whole process and gave me a no fuss, stress less process. This group is the real deal. Thank you for your great work.

Superior work achived by the team at Custom Brick Fences. Their attention to detail and ability to work well with a customers design brief was exceptional. Thank you for a seemless process and a great looking modular wall fence and steel gates.
