We remove the old post and concrete and fit a new timber or concrete post, or use a concrete repair spur where that is the better fix. ### Storm-damaged panels Replacement panels matched as closely as possible to your existing fence, and re-secured so they do not lift again. ### Rotten gravel boards and rails Replacing timber gravel boards with concrete and renewing arris rails on closeboard fences to restore strength. ### Gate repairs Re-hanging, re-bracing and replacing hinges and latches on dropped or broken gates. ## Repair or replace? An honest rule of thumb If one or two posts have failed and the rest are solid, repair makes sense. If posts are failing along the run, the timber is soft when pressed with a screwdriver or the fence is past 15 years old, replacement usually works out cheaper over the next few years. We will show you what we find rather than just tell you. ## Storm damage and insurance Some home insurance policies cover storm damage to fences, often subject to wind-speed thresholds and the condition of the fence beforehand. We can provide photographs and a written report to support a claim. Check your policy wording before work starts. ## Fence Repairs across Merseyside We provide fence repairs throughout the region.

We prioritise unsafe fences and gardens where pets or children can get out. After major storms demand is high, so contact us as early as possible. ### Can you match my existing fence panels? We source the closest available match. New timber will look lighter at first and weathers in over a season, or can be stained to blend. ### Is a leaning fence dangerous? It can be, particularly next to paths or play areas. A leaning fence will usually get worse with the next strong wind, so it is worth having it checked. ### Can a snapped fence post be repaired without replacing every panel? Often. If the adjoining panels and rails remain sound, the failed post can be replaced or supported with a suitable repair spur. We check why it failed first; a row of rotten posts may make a full replacement better value. ### What should I do with a loose fence after a storm? Keep people and pets away from unstable sections, especially near a public path, and avoid trying to prop up a heavy panel in strong wind. Photos of the damage are useful when you contact us and may help if you ask your insurer about a claim. ### Is replacing one panel enough if the fence keeps blowing down? Not always. Repeated failures often point to loose posts, exposed positioning or a panel style that catches too much wind. We inspect the supporting structure and discuss whether a more open design or stronger posts would be a longer-lasting fix. ## Planning a fence in Merseyside? Book a free, no-obligation site visit.
