Glass & Fencing in Five Dock, Sydney

Most Federation and Edwardian wet areas have walls 5-15mm out of plumb, and corners that aren't true 90 degrees. We template every Federation install on-site before manufacturing — not from drawings — so the glass is cut to fit the actual wall geometry, not the theoretical geometry. Custom-templating adds a week to the timeline but means the screen sits perfectly with no silicone gaps or visible packers.

Yes, at the same per-screen rate as standard sizes. Most original Federation wet areas are 800-1100mm wide because they were never designed for shower enclosures (showers retrofitted into bathtub spaces). We don't force customers into off-the-shelf sizes — we custom-cut the frameless screen to the exact opening width. No surcharge for tight Federation wet areas.

Federation/Edwardian properties in heritage-controlled streets need council approval for any visible boundary fencing or external balustrade installation. We do the heritage application as part of the quote — usually a 4-week council review. Internal installs (shower screens, splashbacks) typically don't trigger heritage review unless they're visible from the street. We confirm heritage status at first contact.

Apartment shower-screen and balustrade work in Inner West buildings (often 1920s-50s walk-ups) needs body-corp committee approval. We provide the committee a single application document covering install methodology, working-hours commitment, lift-protection plan, and waste removal — most committees approve in 2-3 weeks. We coordinate multiple unit installs in the same building into a single week-long window where possible.
