Don't Replace It if We Can Save It

Slide to see how we save Bexleyheath homeowners thousands by structurally repairing fences instead of tearing down whole boundaries.

Why Do Fences Fail in Bexleyheath?

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

Suburban Garden Boundary Stress

The Problem: Long garden boundaries in DA6 often feature aging timber posts that lean under heavy wind shear.

Our Fix: We install steel-reinforced concrete repair spurs to pull leaning boundaries straight without replacing good panels.

Heavy Clay Footing Shifts

The Problem: London Clay across Bexleyheath causes shallow concrete post bases to shift and loosen over time.

Our Fix: We re-set posts into deep 600mm concrete footings designed to withstand seasonal clay expansion.

Ground-Line Timber Decay

The Problem: Untreated post bases rot underground, leaving fences vulnerable to sudden storm collapse.

Our Fix: We use pressure-treated timber with Postsaver sleeves or concrete spurs for long-lasting rot protection.

The "Posts and Rails" Myth

One of the most persistent myths we hear quoting in Bexleyheath is that whichever side has the fence posts owns the boundary. It doesn't — ownership comes from the property deeds, not which side the rails face. When deeds are silent on a boundary, which happens more often than people expect, the practical fix is a simple written agreement between neighbours confirming who's responsible for what, rather than relying on which way the fence happens to be built. Where this actually matters in practice is cost-splitting. Homeowners sometimes assume that because their post shows on the boundary, they're solely responsible for the whole run, and end up paying for a neighbour's share by default rather than through any legal requirement. A short written note between neighbours, even just an email confirming who's paying for what and who'll maintain which side, avoids that assumption doing the deciding for you. We're happy to talk both households through the practical split before quoting a Bexleyheath job that spans a shared boundary.

Fence Repair Questions We Hear Across Bexleyheath

Do I need planning permission to replace my fence in Bexleyheath?
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 DA6.
