Fence repair — Fencing specialist
Photograph the damaged section and its neighbouring posts, and explain whether the problem followed impact, weather or gradual deterioration. State whether the fence is unstable or obstructing access so the contractor can assess the urgency and whether a local repair is practical.
Service scope
Local repair of an existing fence after identifying damaged components and the condition of adjacent supports. The scope may involve panels, boards, rails, posts or fixings, but must distinguish a viable local repair from a system that needs wider replacement.
What is normally included
- Inspection of specified fence damage
- Agreed component repair or replacement
- Adjustment and finishing of the repaired section
What is not included
- Automatic renewal of the whole boundary
- A guarantee that matching replacement components are available
Typical tasks
- Inspect damaged and adjoining components
- Identify the likely extent of failure
- Confirm compatible repair materials
- Complete the agreed repair
- Check the repaired section and remaining limitations
What to include in your brief
- Damage photographs
- Fence material and approximate age
- Number of affected sections
- Cause and timing of damage
- Access and matching requirements
Choosing the right professional
Ask whether the existing supports are sound enough for the proposed repair and how new components will match. Compare a defined component list rather than an assurance that the fence will be fixed, particularly where deterioration extends beyond the visibly broken panel.
Important considerations
- New panels may not solve a failing-post problem
- Unstable sections can create hazards before repair
