    I highly recommend Matt and his guys for your job. You won't be disappointed. We got stung badly by a pool fencer with an incomplete job. Matt came in, sorted out the mess and got our glass pool fence installed and it looks fantastic. Should have used him first up.

    We had Matt from Tough As Glass Newcastle install our pool fence in 2021. Matt was impeccable with his installation, the product is excellent and ads an exceptional finish to our pool area. We had an unfortunate accident 3 years later and not a problem for Matt and the team. Glass panel completely replaced and repaired without issue. I cannot recommend Matt from Tough as Glass enough. 10/10.

Frequently asked questions

How much do fencers typically charge?
Fencing costs vary considerably depending on fence type, length, materials, site conditions and whether existing fencing must be removed. Simple repairs or short runs of standard post-and-paling or Colourbond typically cost less than full replacements or jobs on difficult ground. The page shows live pricing for common fencing jobs, and quotes usually include a call-out fee plus labour and materials, with after-hours work attracting higher rates.
Do fencers charge call-out fees?
Many fencers charge a call-out fee to attend and assess the job, particularly for small or diagnostic visits. This fee is generally separate from hourly labour and materials and may be credited against the job total. Confirm whether a call-out fee applies when you request a quote.
When do fencers need a licence?
Fencing work may require registration or a contractor licence in some states and territories; requirements vary by jurisdiction. Jobs that affect safety or involve pool fencing, structural posts or significant replacement work are examples that may trigger registration. Where applicable, look for a valid state contractor licence, ABN with GST, current public liability insurance, industry association membership (for example FIAA) and a White Card.
