Knock down and rebuild, Helensvale

Jake quotes every wall on this register and builds it. He uses the right auger for the job, 450 millimetres on some walls and 300 millimetres on others, and sets galvanised posts in 32 MPa concrete from the plant, with geofabric, 100 millimetre socked ag pipe and drainage gravel behind the wall.

What people ask about replacing a wall

Things worth walking out and looking at: it leans out at the top, sleepers bow between the posts, the ground behind it is dropping, timber is soft at ground level, or water comes out of the face after rain.

A wall that's been leaning for two years will lean for another one, right up until the day it doesn't.

No, we don't do repairs. Once we alter a wall another contractor built, we may become responsible for work we didn't build.

So if your wall is failing, we'll quote a knock down and rebuild.

The ones we replace nearly always come down to the same three things: no drainage, hand mixed concrete, and small footings. A lot of them fail within a year or so of going in.

The worst one we've replaced cost its owners about $30,000 once the removal and disposal of the failed wall was included.

Why walls fail

We do. Removing and disposing of the old wall is part of the quote.

Yes. Fence brackets fix to the wall's steel posts and the fence stands on those. The brackets go on before the top two sleepers, so tell us when you ask for the quote, not once the wall is up.

We fit the brackets as part of the wall. The fence itself is a fencer's job, and we can put you in touch with one we trust.

Fence brackets, in order

29 people have written about what it was like, and they all write about the same things.

The thing people tell us most is that they can’t believe it’s only the two of us. After that, it’s how fast Jake works, how clean he leaves the site, and the quality of the wall.

Reviews published on Google. Names as the reviewers gave them.

Why people trust us with this

Taking out a wall that’s failed and building it again with the footings and drainage it was missing. It’s what we’re known for.

What we're known for

Knock down and rebuild is most of our work, and it's the job people ask us for by name.

The old wall leaves with us

Jake knocks it down and takes it away, then sets out the new one and starts digging pier holes, usually all on the first day.

We replace, we don't patch

Once we alter a wall another contractor built, we may become responsible for work we didn't build. So we quote it as a rebuild.

Built with what the first one was missing

Piers drilled with the right auger for the job, 450 mm on some walls and 300 mm on others, then 32 MPa plant concrete, steel reinforced sleepers, geofabric, a 100 mm socked ag pipe and 20 mm drainage gravel.
