Repairs
Fence and gate repairs
Broken panels, posts that have snapped or worked loose and gates that have dropped or will not shut. Small repairs are welcome, so do get in touch even if it is just one panel.
What James can help with
- Fence panels that are split, broken or have blown out
- Posts that have snapped, rotted at the base or started to lean
- Loose or broken rails and boards
- Gates that have dropped, catch on the ground or will not latch
- Damage after strong winds
Repair or replace?
Not every fence is worth repairing. Sometimes a couple of new parts will put it right. Other times the posts or panels are too far gone and a replacement is the better use of your money. Send James some photos and he will give you his honest view on which makes sense.
If a replacement turns out to be the better option, see fencing installation and replacement.

Your side and, if possible, the other side.

For gates
The hinges, the latch and the post it hangs from.
Example
Putting right an earlier job
On this job the posts of an earlier fence had been set at different heights and nothing was level. James's team put that right and then added four new bays with the panels fitted flush to the posts.
Repair questions
Can my fence be repaired or does it need replacing?
It depends on the condition of the posts and panels. Some fences can be put right with a few new parts. Others are past repairing. Send photos and James will give you his view.
Will you come out for one broken panel?
Yes. Small repairs are welcome. Send a photo of the panel and the posts either side, along with your postcode.
My gate has dropped and will not shut. Can you help?
Yes. Gate repairs are part of the service. A photo of the gate, its hinges and the post it hangs on helps James see what is going on.
Can you match my existing fence?
Ask James. Whether a close match is possible depends on what is there now and what is available.
