Ben comes out, looks at the block, and tells you what it actually needs.

How Ben works

“No job too small, we do them all.”

That line has been on Blakemores' own paperwork for years, and it still holds. A single gate that drags on the path is a job. A 40 metre Colorbond boundary before Christmas is a job. So is one broken panel after a storm.

In their own words: they specialise in the small jobs too, from Colorbond fence extensions and single gates right through to full boundary fences. It is a family operated company that supplies and installs, so the person who quotes the work is the person standing behind it.

What we build

Fencing, gates and retaining, done as one job

Most blocks need more than one thing. A fence that needs a retaining wall under it. A boundary run that needs a gate in the middle of it. Blakemores does the lot, which is why it goes up in one go instead of three.

Colorbond fencing

The Hunter workhorse. Boundary runs, side returns and full perimeters, set true and capped off clean. Sheet straight to the ground or sitting on sleepers where the block falls away.

Retaining walls and fence packages

Timber and concrete sleeper retaining, levelled and drained properly, with the fence built on top as one job by one crew. No juggling two trades and two start dates.

Modular wall in white and grey rendered panels with a white aluminium slat gate across a house frontage

Modular walls

Rendered look modular panels for street frontages, and acoustic walls where road or neighbour noise is the problem. A far better answer than another metre of sheet metal.

Timber fencing

Lap and cap, closed paling, horizontal slat screens and traditional pickets. Treated pine that weathers the way it should, built to take the Hunter wind.

Pool compliant fencing

Aluminium pool fencing and gates set out to the gaps and heights the rules actually ask for, so the certifier signs it off the first time and the pool gets used this summer.

Swinging, sliding and track free. Horizontal slat, decorative, picket and one offs drawn up for the gap you have got rather than the gap a catalogue assumed.

Demolition and removal of the old fence is part of the job, not an afterthought. The pile of silvered palings leaves with the crew.

About

A family outfit, run out of East Maitland

Ben has been trading under his own name since 2005 and running Blakemores Fencing across the Hunter ever since. It is still a family operated company: Ben quotes the work, Ben and the team build it, and the name on the sign is the name on the licence.

Customers keep writing the same things in their reviews, and they are worth repeating here because they are not our words. That Ben turns up when he says he will. That he is patient while you make your mind up on a design and a colour. That the price is fair and the finish is neat. That he will take on the awkward block, the steep site and the job the last bloke did not want.

Thank you Blakemores Fencing for our amazing 'much needed' new fence and gates. It took us a very long time to make our final decision on design AND colour and because of your time and patience, we finally got there. We gave ourselves so many choices and Ben patiently let us work it out, guiding us when we asked, resulting in a perfect outcome. Under the pressure of some 'trying' circumstances Ben and his team were kind, understanding and above all professional.

Ben is exceptionally to deal with. Very competitive with pricing as well. Highly recommend for small or large fencing projects.

Ben & Sandy were great at a really busy time before Christmas. They did everything to erect our 40+m Colorbond fence and gates to get our new home secure.

Blakemores Fencing did a very neat and professional job for me. Ben installed new colorbond fencing, a custom gate and fence extensions for the existing fence.

Mark Clarkson

Great job, good value, reliable, organized and honest on my boundary fence, gate and pool fence job. Took care of the whole job while I was out of the country so without really any input or oversight from me and did a good job. Very helpful with advice on the design to begin with also. Ben was awesome.

Andrew Stock

Customer testimonial

Ben and the team have done a fantastic job with all of landscaping - clear yard, extra drainage, retaining walls, fencing, landscaping and fences.

Frances Little

Had a fantastic experience with Blakemores Fencing. Ben was very helpful and had some great ideas on how we could install our pool fence.

Dominic Buzzell

August 2024

Blakemores did some complex deck cladding and aluminium fencing on our tricky site. We have a steep, rugged block so access is always challenging.

Rough length, the sort of fence you are after, and whether the ground falls away. That is usually enough to get a price moving. Photos help, so send them through.
