Don't Replace It if We Can Save It

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

Why Do Fences Fail in Welling?

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

Terraced & Semi Privacy

The Problem: Dense suburban housing in DA16 means a snapped post compromises privacy for multiple adjacent properties.

Our Fix: We rapidly anchor failed posts with concrete spurs or fresh UC4 timber to restore private boundaries fast.

Clay Moisture Swelling

The Problem: Welling's clay soil swells in wet weather and shrinks in dry heat, loosening shallow post footings.

Our Fix: We sink deep concrete footings at 600mm depth to anchor posts below the clay movement threshold.

Storm Gust Snaps

The Problem: High wind gusts across Falconwood and East Wickham cause brittle, aging posts to snap clean off at ground level.

Our Fix: We install heavy-duty concrete repair spurs bolted directly into surviving posts, saving you money.

Title Deeds & T-Marks: Checking Who Owns Your Boundary

Before we pull down an old fence in Welling, boundary ownership confusion is the most common delay we see. Your Title Register and Title Plan, downloadable from HM Land Registry, will show a "T" mark on your side of a boundary you own, or an "H" mark where a fence is jointly owned and jointly maintained. Neither "the side with the posts" nor "the left-hand fence" is a real legal rule, they're just customs, and if the deeds don't show a mark either way, the fence is generally treated as shared. We'll help you check before booking a Welling installation, so there's no dispute once the work starts. We flag this early because the alternative, starting work and discovering a boundary dispute halfway through, is far more disruptive and expensive to unwind. If your deeds are genuinely unclear and a neighbour disagrees about ownership, we'd rather pause and let you resolve it, even informally over the garden fence, than press ahead and end up rebuilding something that gets challenged later. Most Welling boundary questions resolve in a five-minute conversation once someone actually pulls the Title Plan rather than relying on memory of who built what years ago.

Fence Repair Questions We Hear Across Welling

Do I need planning permission to replace my fence in Welling?
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 DA16.
