Fence Repair Services

Everything your fence needs

From a couple of loose palings to a full post replacement, we assess what's needed and fix it the right way — no band-aid solutions.

🪵

Paling Replacement

Cracked, split, or missing palings replaced with matching timber. Quick fix with a neat result.

🏗️

Post Replacement

Leaning or rotted posts dug out and replaced with new concrete-set posts. The proper fix, not a prop.

🚪

Gate Repairs

Drooping, jamming or broken gates re-hung, re-latched and adjusted so they open and close like new.

🛡️

Storm Damage Repair

Sections blown over or badly damaged? We assess, quote, and repair quickly to restore your boundary.

🏠

New Fence Sections

Need a new section or a complete fence? We build and install timber paling fences to suit your block.

🔩

Rail & Framework Repairs

Rotted or broken rails replaced so the whole structure is sound, not just the visible palings.

Does your fence have any of these issues?

↙️

Leaning or bowing fence

Usually a sign of rotted posts at ground level. Needs replacing before the whole panel comes down.

🍄

Timber rot and decay

Melbourne's wet winters are tough on untreated timber. Rotted sections need replacing before it spreads.

🌪️

Storm or wind damage

Panels knocked over, rails snapped, posts cracked — common after a Melbourne storm system.

🚪

Gate that won't latch

A sagging gate is a security risk, especially with young kids or dogs. A quick re-hang fixes it.

🪲

Termite or borer damage

Visible damage to palings or posts? We assess, replace affected sections and treat if needed.

🏚️

Old fence past its best

Sometimes a repair will only last so long. We'll give you an honest assessment on repair vs. replace.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fence repair FAQs

How do I know if my fence needs repairing or replacing?
+
We'll assess it honestly. If the posts are sound and most of the timber is good, we'll repair it. If the structure is compromised or most of the wood is rotted, replacement is better value long-term. We'll always give you both options.
What type of timber do you use for repairs?
+
We use treated pine palings and posts that are suitable for outdoor use in Melbourne's climate. We match the existing fence style as closely as possible for a neat result.
Who is responsible for a shared boundary fence?
+
Under Victorian law, the cost of a fence on a shared boundary is generally split equally between neighbours, unless one party caused the damage. We're happy to provide documentation for your discussions with your neighbour if needed.
Do you paint or stain the fence after repairs?
+
We can — just ask when booking. We can oil, stain or paint new timber sections to match the existing fence. New timber will take a stain or oil beautifully.
How long will fence repairs take?
+
Most repairs are completed in a half to full day depending on the scope. A post replacement typically takes 2–4 hours including the concrete set. We'll give you a time estimate when we quote.
Why It Matters

Why fence problems should never wait

A leaning fence is a structural warning, not a cosmetic one. Once posts move, every wind event accelerates the lean — and a repairable fence becomes a full replacement. Repair costs rise steeply with delay.

“Fence leaning after storms”

We assess whether posts can be re-set or need replacing — often only one or two posts are the problem, not the whole fence.

“Palings falling off or rotting at the base”

Individual palings and rails can be replaced and matched — far cheaper than a new fence.

“Gate dragging or won't latch”

Usually settling or hinge wear — a quick realignment job we do constantly across northern Melbourne.
