Melbourne Heritage Fencing

Adam recently done a fence for me and he was absolutely amazing, such a friendly professional person, the fence came out outstanding and I would highly recommend him.

Absolutely terrible avoid this company, inexperienced and don't stand by their work. This is an actual review from a paying customer.
We have had a terrible experience with Adam Dennis, his partner Hayley and their company, Melbourne Heritage Fencing. They asked for a 50 percent deposit up front for our front fence, automatic gates and side gates, we paid the deposit but the week they were supposed to start, they were uncontactable. Numerous messages were left which went unanswered.
Considering his facebook page says that messages will be replied to in a day, we were very concerned when we were ignored considering he had our 50 percent deposit. After many unanswered messages, I posted my concerns on social media. This received a response from Hayley and the work commenced in late May after further delays.
We were advised by Hayley that the job should take two weeks, it is now late July and the work is still not complete, some eight weeks later. There were only about three days delay due to weather, although on numerous occassions weather was blamed. There were numerous excuses used about delays including materials being out of stock, illness etc. It later become evident that Adam was seriously distracted by personal, legal family issues. Before the work commenced we advised Adam that we hadn't decided whether to go all the same size pickets or a combination of thin and thick pickets, he said this was fine as he hadn't finalised the materials order, and was likely to be cutting down the pickets himself anyway to create the thinner pickets. Towards, in his view, the job being completed, we were hit with a variation for restocking materials which we were originally told were out of stock, hence the delays. When we asked for an invoice to support this variation, Adam supplied a heavily redacted invoice so the amounts were not varifiable. In response, I offered to settle the variation for 50 percent of the claim which he quickly accepted, we were obviously being ripped off.
Adam left our site with posts not concreted in the ground, just stuck in holes in the ground not secured at all. This front fence boarders a nature strip and posed a risk to those walking by as these heavy 6 ft tall posts weren't secure, let alone the risk of them being stolen. We had to pull the posts out of the holes and store them down the side of the house.
Later when Adam went to attach the gates to our stone clad, newly built pillars, he drilled through wiring which has now resulted in expensive electrical work to rectify the wiring issues. Adam was advised of where the wiring was and where to drill, however when the gates required additonal hinge support, he drilled in to the pillars without consulting with us or our electrician. Adam is now denying any responsibility for the electrical fault. We have had a licenced, independent A grade electrician who wired our newly built house come out to assess and he has determined that the fault is due to drilling in to the wiring. We have withheld an amount from Adams final invoice equal to our electrican's estimate to rectify the electrical wiring fault, which now requires boring under driveways or trenching, we tried to work with Adam to investigate his preferred wiring solution which started late last week however now Adam has dumped our job in the middle of this fix, our electrican believes Adam has dumped our job because he can't get his preferred wiring fix to work. We have texts from Adam acknowledging his faulty workmanship in particular, one of the posts that the driveway gate is attached to has been laminated together and is faulty, as is the mechanical work for the driveway gates. The gates blow open in the wind, don't fully shut properly or open correctly. Adam was going to replace the faulty laminted post this week but has now demanded the money we have withheld from him first without the electrical work being fixed, or his faulty workmanship being rectified.

Very happy, as soon as i paid the deposit they began working on my fence within the week (maybe i got lucky).
Adam and Hayley were both great and helped us find exactly what we needed to get the perfect fence for our house and did so at a reasonable price and stuck exactly to the quotation which we had been worried about before getting the fence built.

Adam is fantastic! Custom gates are exactly what I had envisioned & no change or request was too hard or too much. Great service

Best Quality- Best Service- Best Fencers in Melbourne!
I can not recommend Adam and the Team at Melbourne Heritage enough. They are AMAZING! Customer Service second to none, went above and beyond for us. It has turned out even better than expected.
Adam did a great job and we get regular compliments on our fence.

Couldn't have asked for a better experience!
The guys here at melbourne heritage fencing got the job done straight away for me with no issues and the my front fence looks amazing!
Thanks guys, would recommend to anyone!

Melbourne Heritage Fencing completed our fence earlier this year and we are so happy with the job Adam did. His service was second to none. We now have a fantastic picket fence with custom automatic gates and it has significantly increased the curb appeal of our home, provided security and I’m sure increased the value of our home! Thank you Adam and Melbourne Heritage Fencing

Quick and efficient getting the final product up. Would recommend to anyone looking for this style of fence.

Adam was a delight to deal with and was extremely helpful, very good eye when it came to the smallest details. Followed up with a call a week after the fence/gate was finished just to make sure all needs were met 10/10 for service

Adam and the staff at Melbourne Heritage Fencing where fantastic, reliable and very easy to communicate with. From the second I requested a quote to the finished product I was informed and kept up to date, step by step. I can’t thank them enough not only for this but for the quality of workmanship.

Can not speak highly enough about Adam Dennis and his Melbourne Heritage Fencing.

Adam was courteous and prompt when arranging a quote, works started as per his start date. Was complete within specified time and site was left looking incredible.

Awesome experience.

Guy looked after my fence and its come up looking really great! Once we engaged them they built a quality fence and gates that looks great

Do not use this company to get your fence done. First they ripped down our fence over 4 weeks ago and we still dont have a fence. The first time they built it was completely wrong so now they are replacing the pickets. Massive gaps in notches made in posts.posts not level or straight. The owner is not contact able at all. His voice mail says hes on holidays till mid novemeber and will not be checking his messages. Just a warning for all out there. Update: I advise any sane person not to use this company for any business they are rude and leave you with no fence for months and months at a time.

Adam and the team at Melbourne Heritage Fencing did a great job on my Woven Wire front fence and gates. It came up looking awesome! Highly recommended!
