Residential Fencing

Fence Repairs

Not every fence problem needs a full replacement. Where the majority of a boundary is sound, a repair can put right a single failed post, a blown panel or storm damage without the cost of rebuilding the whole run.

Fixing the problem, not the whole fence

Not every fence problem needs a full replacement. Where most of a boundary is sound, a repair can put right a single failed post, a blown panel or storm damage without the cost of rebuilding the whole run. We assess the fence honestly, repair what is worth repairing and tell you when it is not. If the timber is sound but tired and faded, a fresh coat of paint or stain may be all it needs.

What we repair

Post replacement

A single rotten or snapped post replaced without disturbing the rest of the fence.

Panel swaps

A damaged panel replaced like-for-like where the posts either side are sound.

Storm damage

Fast assessment and repair after high winds, prioritised over routine bookings.

Repair or replace?

On the survey, we'll give you an honest view on whether a repair is worthwhile or whether the rest of the fence is close enough to failing that a full replacement makes more sense.

Signs your fence needs attention

Leaning

A fence that leans in the wind, or has started to tilt, usually has loose or rotten posts.

Soft timber

Timber that crumbles or gives under a screwdriver has started to rot.

Loose or broken panels

Panels that rattle, sag or have come away from their fixings.

Gaps and daylight

Splits and gaps that have opened up between boards.

Repairing after a storm

High winds are the most common reason a fence fails, especially a fence with weak or shallow posts. If a panel has blown down, make the area safe and keep people away from it. Send us a few photos by WhatsApp, and we will tell you what is likely to be involved, and arrange a visit. We keep capacity free for urgent jobs, and aim to assess within days, not weeks.

When replacing makes more sense

A repair is not always the best use of money. If posts along the fence are rotting, the fence is leaning along its length, or you have had several repairs already, patching it is usually a short-term fix. In that case a fence replacement will cost less in the long run, and come with a ten-year guarantee. We will tell you plainly which makes sense.

Shared fences

If the damaged fence is on a boundary shared with a neighbour, it helps to know who is responsible for it before you repair.

We keep capacity free for urgent jobs and aim to assess within days, not weeks.

Do repairs carry the same guarantee?

Repaired sections carry our standard guarantee on the new materials and work carried out.

Can a leaning fence be straightened?

Sometimes. If the posts are sound and the lean is slight, it can be reset. If posts have rotted or snapped, they need replacing, and we will tell you which at survey.
