We repair garden fences across London. Most jobs are a leaning or blown-down panel, a rotted post at ground level or a gate that has dropped. Repairs start at £120, a replacement panel is £90 to £160 fitted and a new post set in postcrete is £110 to £190. We come out, look at it, and tell you honestly whether it needs repairing or replacing.
Almost every fence we are called to has failed in the same place. Not the panel, the post. Timber rots where it meets the soil, the post loses its grip, and the next bit of wind takes the panel with it. The panel usually survives. That matters, because replacing three posts and refixing the panels costs a fraction of a new fence.
That is the first thing we check when we arrive. If the posts are sound we repair. If they are gone we say so and price the replacement properly. Either way you get the price in writing before anyone picks up a spade.

If a fence has come down and the garden is not secure, say so when you call. A dog that can get out or an open boundary onto an alley gets a same-day make-safe, and we come back to finish the job properly.
What we repair
How a fence repair works
A word on boundaries, because it causes more arguments than anything else in this trade. You are normally responsible for the fence on one side of your garden, but the deeds are the only thing that settles it. If the fence sits on a shared boundary we recommend a quick word with the neighbour before we start. It costs nothing and it stops the job halting halfway through.
We also work for landlords and managing agents across London, and we can invoice on account. If you look after several properties, one call gets all of them looked at on the same visit.
