We handle every type of fence repair for every type of fencing. Here are the most common repair jobs we carry out across Derby:
Storm Damage Repairs
High winds are a regular occurrence in Derbyshire. We repair and rebuild fence sections blown down by storms, replacing snapped posts, broken rails, and damaged boards quickly to secure your property.
Rotten Post Replacement
The most common fence failure in the UK. When a timber post rots at ground level, the fence leans or falls. We excavate the old post, install a new one in fresh concrete, and reattach the fence correctly.
Panel Replacement
Damaged, broken, or warped fence panels can be replaced individually without disturbing the rest of the fence. We'll match your existing style and size as closely as possible.
Board & Rail Replacement
For close board fences, individual featheredge boards and arris rails can be replaced without dismantling the whole fence, keeping costs down and disruption minimal.
Re-Concreting Posts
Posts that have worked loose in the ground can often be saved by re-concreting. We'll excavate around the base, pack the post correctly, and re-concrete for a solid, long-lasting fix.
Gravel Board Replacement
Gravel boards at the base of a fence are often the first thing to rot, as they sit close to the ground. Replacing them is far cheaper than replacing the whole fence and can significantly extend its life.
Fence Straightening
A fence that's leaning but not yet fallen can often be straightened and re-concreted. This is a cost-effective fix that avoids a full replacement if the fence is otherwise in good condition.
Gate Repairs & Re-Hanging
Sagging, sticking, or damaged gates can be repaired or re-hung without needing a full replacement. We adjust hinges, replace fixings, and re-hang gates so they open and close properly.
Repair vs Replace — Honest Advice Every Time
One of the most common questions we're asked is whether to repair a damaged fence or replace it entirely. There's no single right answer — it depends on the age of the fence, the extent of the damage, the type of fencing, and your budget.
Our approach is always to give you honest advice rather than the option that earns us the most money. In many cases, a targeted repair is far better value than a full replacement and will extend the life of your fence by many more years. In other cases — where a fence is more than 15–20 years old, has multiple failing posts, or has widespread rot — a full replacement will cost less in the long run.
When we carry out our free site visit, we'll give you a clear picture of the condition of your fence and the options available, with the pros and cons of each. You'll always receive a written quote before any work starts.
Storm Season in Derby — What to Expect
Derby and Derbyshire experience regular periods of strong winds and storms, particularly between October and March. The Derbyshire terrain — from the Peak District to the open plains around Derby city — creates conditions that can generate significant wind speeds, and exposed garden fences bear the brunt.
After a major storm, our phones are busy. We respond to fence repair calls in the order they're received and aim to get to every job as quickly as possible. For situations where your garden is left unsecured — pets at risk, children's safety compromised, or a security issue — we prioritise emergency callouts regardless of the time of day or night.
We cover all Derby areas after storm events including Allestree, Mickleover, Chellaston, Spondon, Chaddesden, Alvaston, Normanton, Oakwood, and all surrounding neighbourhoods.
Insurance Claim Fence Repairs in Derby
Fence damage caused by storms or other insured events may be covered by your home insurance policy. We regularly carry out fence repairs for Derby homeowners as part of insurance claims and are happy to:
- Provide a detailed written quotation suitable for an insurance claim
- Supply photographs of the damage and completed repair work if required
- Work directly with your loss adjuster or insurance assessor if needed
- Provide receipts and documentation for your claim
Always check your policy excess before claiming — for minor repairs, it may be more cost-effective to pay directly. We'll give you an honest quote so you can make that call yourself.
