Fence Bricklayers Working Across the Sunshine Coast
Sunshine Coast Bricklayers builds block and brick fences right across the Sunshine Coast, from front walls to full boundary runs.
Whether it’s a solid front wall going up where there has never been one, a pierced screen block fence that lets the breeze through, or a segmented run stepping down a fall, the fence is only as straight as the footing under it. Footings get dug and sized for the wall going on top, and where an old fence is in the way it comes out first.
Blocks come from leading Australian manufacturers, and the render and paint afterwards is done in-house.

Block Fence Styles We Build
Solid Block Fences
A continuous wall with no gaps, which is what you want for privacy, for noise off a main road, or for a clean rendered face at the front of the house.
Pierced Block Fences
Patterned block that lets light and air through while still reading as a solid boundary. Suits a hot aspect or a frontage that would feel closed in behind a solid wall.
Segmented Fences
Block piers with panels between them, in block, timber, steel or aluminium. The usual answer on a sloping block, where the fence steps down the fall rather than following it.
Brick Fences and Piers
Face brick front fences and piers where the brick is the finish. No render, no paint, and no maintenance beyond a wash down every few years.
Gates and Returns
Openings set out for the gate actually being fitted, with returns built to carry the weight and the swing without pulling the brickwork out of line.
Render and Paint
Sand and cement render over the finished fence, then painted, so the wall goes from block to a smooth finished face without another trade being booked.

What Changes the Price of a Fence
Fences are priced per job rather than per metre, because the ground under the wall moves the cost more than the blockwork above it does.
What affects the cost of a block fence on the Sunshine Coast:
| Factor | What it changes |
|---|---|
| Length and height | Block count, footing size and how many piers the run needs |
| Style | Solid uses the most block, pierced and segmented use less but take longer to set out |
| Fall of the block | A stepped fence means more footings and more setting out than a level run |
| Existing fence | Removal and disposal, plus taking out any footing that has already failed |
| Finish | Face brick is the finish. Block needs render and paint on top |
| Gates and openings | Returns, posts and the setting out around them |

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a block fence cost on the Sunshine Coast?
Block fences on the Sunshine Coast are priced per job rather than per metre. Factors affecting the cost include the length and height of the fence, the style, the fall of the block, whether an existing fence has to be removed, and the finish. A level solid run and a segmented fence stepping down a fall are not the same amount of work.
Do you charge for a quote?
No, fence quotes are free right across the Sunshine Coast. Someone comes out and walks the boundary, then a written quote follows setting out how the fence will be built.
What is the difference between a solid, pierced and segmented fence?
The difference is how much of the fence is closed. Solid is a continuous wall for privacy and noise. Pierced uses patterned block so light and air pass through. Segmented runs piers with panels between them, which suits a sloping block where the fence has to step.
Do you render and paint the fence as well?
Yes, we render and paint the fence as part of the same job. Sand and cement render goes over the finished blockwork and the paint follows, so you are not booking a separate trade to finish what we built.
What happens to the old fence?
The old fence comes out before the new one goes up, and any footing that has failed comes out with it. Building a new fence on a footing that has already moved is how the new one inherits the same problem.
Can you match the brick on my house?
Yes, we can match the brick on your house as closely as the brick is still available. Plenty of front fences get built in a deliberate contrast instead, or in block and rendered to match the render on the house, which is worth talking through on site.

- Our Process
How Your Fence Gets Built
The following are the steps to our quick and easy process:
On-site quote
A licensed bricklayer walks the boundary, checks the fall and the access, and works out what the footing has to carry.
Written quote
The quote comes back in writing with the style, the height and the method set out, so you know what has been priced.
Footings
The line is set out and the footings dug, with the old fence and any failed footing removed first where they are in the way.
Build and finish
The fence is laid and cleaned down, then rendered and painted where that applies.
