Frequently asked questions
Useful answers before you request a quote.
Can part of a timber fence be repaired?
Yes, if the surrounding posts and rails are sound and a compatible material can be fitted. A wider replacement may be better when movement or decay runs through the boundary.
Can you replace a whole timber fence?
Yes. A quote can cover an agreed section or the whole timber fence where replacement is the practical option. It will state whether removal, disposal, gate work, painting or another finish is included.
Can you fix a timber gate that will not close?
We can assess sagging, rubbing, damaged timber and alignment. Lock or access-control issues may require a locksmith or another specialist.
