What a better fence job gives you
Repair only what needs it
We look at the actual condition before suggesting a full fence replacement.
Concrete bases that do not rot
Concrete posts and gravel boards can help on damp or exposed boundaries.
Repair the right part, or renew what has failed
A fence job isn't always about starting again from scratch. Sometimes one storm-damaged panel or a gate that no longer lines up is the only real problem. Other times, leaning posts, rotten bases and a fence that waves at the wind mean a full renewal makes more sense. We carry out garden fence repairs in Cwmbran with that difference in mind, so you get work that fits the condition of the boundary. Privacy, security, wind exposure and the way the garden looks all play a part in deciding what needs doing.
A fence lasts better when the base is thought through
Before anything goes in, we need to understand the boundary line, changes in ground level, access and what's already below the surface. From there, the job usually moves through removal, setting posts, checking alignment and fitting panels, boards, trellis or gates to suit the space. Where customers want a base that doesn't rot, we can use concrete posts and gravel boards. That can be a practical choice on exposed or damp boundaries where timber at ground level has had a hard life.
Frequently asked questions
Can one damaged fence panel be replaced on its own?
Yes, if the surrounding posts and boards are still sound and aligned properly. We'll look at the condition of the nearby sections first, because a new panel won't fix a fence line that's already failing around it.
When is a full fence replacement the better choice?
If there are several weak posts, repeated rot at the base, widespread movement or poor alignment along the run, patching single parts can become false economy. In that case, renewing the fence properly usually gives a better result.
Do concrete posts and gravel boards make a difference?
They can do, especially where you want a rot-resistant support system. Because the base isn't timber sitting at ground level, concrete posts and gravel boards can help the fence cope better with damp conditions over time.
