Letterbox Building in Rolleston & Selwyn

Your letterbox is the first thing visitors and couriers meet — and in new subdivisions around Rolleston and Selwyn, it is often one of the last things to get sorted. We build and install letterboxes of all kinds: classic timber posts with a mounted box, brick and block pillars to match your boundary, and replacements for boxes that have finally given up to weather, wobbles or the occasional reversing mishap.

A letterbox lives a harder life than it looks. It takes full sun, driving rain, frosty mornings and the odd knock — so the post matters as much as the box. We set posts properly: dug to depth, set plumb in two directions, and secured so they stay straight through Canterbury winds and wet winters. Boxes go on level, lids and doors checked to open and close cleanly, and numbering fitted so your place is easy to find.

Built to match your place

Some homes want a simple, honest timber post and box; others want something with a bit more presence — a brick pillar that ties into the frontage, or a design that echoes the fence and gate. Tell us what you have in mind and we will build to suit, matching materials and finishes to what is already there where we can. If your old box just needs surgery — a new post under the existing box, a replaced door, fresh paint — we will say so, because repair is often the smarter spend.

Siting matters too: close enough to the boundary for easy delivery access, clear of driveways and sight lines, and at a sensible height for the postie. We will sort the position with you on site. Call or text 027 592 9582, describe what you are after, and we will arrange a time — letterboxes pair well with fence repairs or clothes line installs in the same visit.

Frequently asked questions

Can you reuse my existing box? Often yes — if the box itself is sound, we can mount it on a new post and freshen it up.

Where should the letterbox go? Near the boundary with clear delivery access; we will confirm the exact spot with you on site.

Do you do brick letterbox pillars? Yes — brick and block pillars built level with proper footings, matched to your place.
