Why Do Fences Fail in Bexley?

We don't just patch up the wood; we fix the structural root cause.

Character & Village Preservation

The Problem: Bexley Village properties often have custom boundary setups where full replacement ruins established garden character.

Our Fix: We perform targeted structural repairs—replacing only damaged posts or spurs—preserving your existing fence design.

River & Stream Damp Rot

The Problem: High water tables near the River Shuttle and Cray cause rapid timber rot in untreated ground-level post footings.

Our Fix: We install rot-proof concrete spurs or Postsaver bitumen-shielded timber posts built for wet soils.

Winter Storm Wind Damage

The Problem: High wind gusts across Blendon and Old Bexley snap weak timber posts at ground level.

Our Fix: We quickly restore boundary security with heavy-duty timber or concrete spur reinforcements.

The 1-Metre Rule for Boundaries Next to a Road

A rule that catches out more Bexley homeowners than you'd think: a boundary fence next to a road used by vehicles, including a quiet residential side street, is capped at 1 metre without planning permission, even where the back garden allowance is a full 2 metres. Corner plots are the classic trap, where a side return borders a street rather than a neighbour's garden and homeowners assume the taller rear-garden limit applies right around the property. We check this before quoting any Bexley boundary that touches a road. We've measured Bexley plots where the owner was certain the whole boundary qualified for the 2-metre rear allowance, only to find a side return counted as roadside once we checked it against the actual highway. That's not a technicality we raise to slow the job down, it's the difference between a fence that's compliant on day one and one that draws a council enforcement letter months later. If your DA5 property has any boundary that isn't purely garden-to-garden, we check its status against the highway before quoting height, not after ordering timber.

"Billy & Vernon were polite, professional & hard working. The job was estimated to take about 3 hours, but the shed instructions were so poor that it took much longer... Nevertheless they never complained!"

Fence Repair Questions We Hear Across Bexley

Do I need planning permission to replace my fence in Bexley?
Generally no. You can repair or replace a garden fence up to 2 metres high in a back garden, or 1 metre high next to a public highway, without planning permission. Conservation areas and Article 4 directions can override this in some areas — always worth a quick check with your local borough council first if you're unsure.
Will a concrete spur fix a leaning fence in London clay soil?
Yes. Heavy South East London clay swells in winter and shrinks in summer, which loosens shallow timber posts. A concrete repair spur bolts to the existing post and sinks deep into the ground — because it's concrete, it won't rot, making it the most cost-effective fix for clay ground.
Do you replace the whole panel, or just the broken posts?
Only what's broken. If a storm has snapped the posts but the timber panels are still sound, new posts are sunk to a minimum 600mm depth (or fitted with concrete repair spurs) to save the existing panels and the cost of a full replacement.
Can a wooden fence be repaired?
Almost always, provided the rot hasn't destroyed the structure. Individual boards and panels can be replaced, loose rails screwed back, and leaning or snapped posts rescued with steel-reinforced concrete repair spurs set in fresh concrete — without disturbing the rest of the fence. Localised rot can be cut back to solid timber and treated with preservative. Where a post has rotted through at the base, that single post can be replaced while the rest of the fence stays untouched.
Can an old, weathered grey fence be restored?
Yes — if the posts are solid, a weathered fence can usually be brought back rather than replaced. Restoration means securing or replacing damaged boards, cleaning off the grey oxidised layer plus algae and mildew, and re-finishing with a high-quality stain that blocks UV and moisture. It makes mismatched older fencing look uniform again and extends its life. We offer this as a standalone service across DA5.
