I've been using The One Pool Care Elsternwick for the past 2.5 years and have been extremely happy with their service. They are reliable, professional, knowledgeable and always responsive when needed. My pool is consistently maintained to a very high standard and any issues are dealt with promptly and honestly. It's reassuring knowing my pool is being looked after properly. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and professional pool care.
This pool care company is amazing, they really care. Zena has been servicing our pool for over a year. His knowledge of our old pool system is exceptional. The service is fantastic and their pricing is reasonable. All of the team are courteous and always helpful. I highly recommend them.
Pool fencing installation covers building a physical barrier — glass, aluminium, timber or a combination — around a swimming pool or spa so it meets the isolation requirements set out in AS1926.1. The work includes setting posts or fixing panels, fitting a self-closing, self-latching gate, and checking gaps, gate swing and climbable objects like nearby furniture or pot plants.
In Hampton East, a lot of the housing stock dates from the 1950s to 1980s, with pools often added a decade or two after the original build. That means many existing fences are older timber pickets or early glass panel systems that were compliant when installed but no longer meet current spacing and latch-height rules.
Getting this right protects two things: your family's safety around water, and your legal position if council or an inspector reviews your barrier during the mandatory four-yearly pool safety check that applies across Victoria.
Ground settling or old paving around Hampton East's clay-based soils often opens gaps under fence panels that a young child could squeeze through.
Worn hinges or a warped timber gate frame, common on 30-40 year old fences, stop the gate closing and latching on its own as required.
Pot plants, outdoor furniture or low retaining walls placed too close to the fence during a backyard renovation can create a foothold for climbing.
Older timber and some early aluminium fences have picket gaps wider than the 100mm limit, which fails a standard compliance check.
Salt-chlorinated pools common in the area can corrode cheaper fittings over time, weakening panel fixings and gate hardware.
Renovation or landscaping work that changed ground height can drop the effective fence height below the required 1200mm minimum.

Quotes in 3 simple steps
Answer a few quick questions about your pool fence — new install, replacement, or a compliance fix. It takes about two minutes and there's no cost to submit.
We connect you with pool fencing providers who cover the Hampton East, VIC 3188 area. You'll typically hear from one or more of them within a day or two.
Review the quotes side by side, ask questions about scope and materials, and pick the provider that suits your budget and timeline. You decide — there's no pressure to accept any quote.
Most pool fencing jobs in Hampton East fall somewhere between A$1000 and A$5000, and the biggest swing factor is material choice — a simple compliance fix on an existing fence sits at the low end, while a full frameless glass surround around a larger pool sits at the high end. Fence length, ground condition and how much old fencing needs removing all move the number too. The only way to know your real figure is to compare quotes against your specific pool, so submit your details and see what local providers actually quote.
Market guidance only — typical ranges for this suburb, not a quote. Your price depends on the specifics of the job and should be confirmed in writing before work starts.
Scope varies a lot between providers — some quote just the fence, others include the compliance certificate and old fence removal. Comparing quotes line by line is the only way to see whether you're actually comparing the same job.
Common extras — ask before booking
A quote that seems cheaper may exclude old fence removal or the compliance certificate — ask each provider to itemise this so you're comparing like-for-like.
Hampton East sits close to Port Phillip Bay, and the salt air combined with backyard pools that are often salt-chlorinated speeds up corrosion on cheaper fixings, hinges and latches. Combined with clay soils that shift slightly with Melbourne's wet winters and dry summers, older fence posts can lean or gaps can open at ground level over a decade or two.
Victoria requires pool barriers to be inspected at least every four years, and any pool fence installed or altered needs to meet AS1926.1 at the time of that inspection — not just when it was first built. That means a fence that passed fifteen years ago may no longer comply, especially if landscaping, decking or new furniture has changed what's around it.
A professional installer checks more than just the fence itself: gate swing direction, latch height, gap under the bottom rail, and any nearby object a child could climb. Getting this assessed properly the first time avoids a failed inspection and a second round of work later.
Hampton East is a quiet, largely residential Bayside suburb made up of established brick veneer homes from the 1950s-1980s, newer townhouse developments on subdivided blocks, and a growing number of unit sites near Bay Road and Wickham Road. Many of the freestanding houses with backyard pools were built well before current fencing standards existed, so the fence itself is often the oldest part of the pool setup.
Access is usually straightforward on standard suburban blocks, but the narrower side passages typical of older Hampton East homes can make it tricky to bring in fence panels or machinery for post-hole digging — it's worth mentioning gate width and side access when you request a quote. Sloping backyards near the Bay Road shopping strip and blocks close to Karkarook Park sometimes need extra footing work to keep the fence level and the required minimum height consistent along its run.
Pool barrier work in Victoria isn't just a good idea — it's regulated, and getting it wrong can mean a failed safety inspection or a fine from council. Knowing what credentials to check protects you as much as it protects the person doing the work.
Domestic building work including pool fencing generally needs to be carried out or supervised by a registered building practitioner in Victoria, particularly for structural fence types like retaining walls integrated with the barrier. Simpler fence installations are commonly done by experienced fencing contractors, but the finished barrier must still meet AS1926.1 regardless of who installs it.
A good provider will ask about your specific pool and property before quoting, not just give you a number over the phone.
Compare at least two providers for the same job description. This shows you whether a price is genuinely competitive or missing something the other quote includes.
Confirm the quote is based on meeting AS1926.1, the Australian Standard for pool safety barriers. Any reputable installer should reference it without prompting.
Check whether old fence removal, tip fees, and the compliance certificate are part of the price or billed separately.
Ask for proof of public liability insurance and, for larger structural work, VBA registration details before you book.
Mention side gate width, slope, and any narrow passages so the quote reflects the real difficulty of getting materials to the pool area.
Ask for an estimated start date and how long the install will take, especially if you're planning a pool opening around a specific date.
Ask directly whether the finished fence will pass a Victorian pool safety inspection, and whether they'll provide documentation to support that.
Spring, from around September to November, is typically the busiest booking period as Hampton East homeowners get pools ready before summer swimming season. Booking in late winter, around July to August, often means shorter waits and more flexible scheduling since demand is lower.
This is peak demand as homeowners prepare pools for summer, so book early and expect installation lead times to stretch out.
Demand stays high through December before easing slightly by February, with pricing typically at or near seasonal peak rates.
Bookings ease off as pool season winds down, often giving more flexibility on installation dates and slightly better availability.
This is generally the quietest period, making it a practical time to fix compliance issues or replace an old fence before spring demand picks up.
If your pool safety inspection is due in spring, book the fencing work in winter so it's sorted well before the pre-summer rush.
