Repair the support, not just the visible break
Posts checked first
We look for failed support behind leaning panels and broken rails.
Storm damage assessed
Blown-down sections can be rebuilt or replaced where repair is unsuitable.
Privacy restored
We realign damaged sections so the boundary serves its intended purpose again.
Deal with leaning and blown-down fence sections
A loose panel can become a missing panel after the next strong wind. We repair broken, leaning and storm-damaged fences, including failed posts, rails and fixings. The first step is checking what still has sound support. A panel may look like the obvious problem while a rotten or loosened post is the real reason the section will not stand straight. We inspect the affected fence and surrounding ground, then decide whether a local repair or replacement section offers the firmer result. When replacement is needed, we can rebuild the damaged part and restore the boundary line.
Send photographs before we assess the damage
Clear photographs and the approximate length of the affected section help us understand whether the fence is loose, leaning or fully down. Include the posts and ground as well as the broken panel, as support failures are easily missed in a close-up. Tell us about access, nearby sheds or planting and any part that is unsafe to move. Our aim is to return support, alignment and privacy rather than fasten a failing section to the next weak post. Where damage is widespread, we explain why replacing part of the fence may be sounder than repeated small repairs.
Frequently asked questions
Can a blown-down fence be repaired?
Sometimes. The answer depends on the condition of its posts, rails, panels and fixings. If the main parts remain sound, a local repair may work. If support has failed or timber is badly damaged, replacing the affected section may be more sensible.
What photographs should I send?
Send wider views showing the damaged length, plus clear images of failed posts, rails, panels and the nearby ground. Include access routes and anything close to the fence. These details help us understand the likely scope before attending.
Will you replace storm-damaged fencing?
Yes. We can replace affected fence sections when damage or failed support makes repair unsuitable. We assess how much of the line is unsound, discuss the proposed replacement and plan access before removing or rebuilding the damaged area.
