The cost of repairing a fence depends on much more than the number of damaged panels. Post condition, access, ground conditions and the type of materials required can all change the amount of work involved.

What affects the price?

• Type of damage: a loose panel is different from a post that has failed below ground.
• Materials: panel design, post material, gravel boards and fittings all influence cost.
• Access: narrow side passages, steps and restricted delivery routes can add time.
• Ground conditions: old concrete, roots and difficult excavation may affect post replacement.
• Removal: disposing of damaged materials should be considered when comparing estimates.

Single-panel repairs

When the posts and gravel boards are sound, replacing one panel can be straightforward. The correct size and style must be chosen, and surrounding components should be checked before the new panel is fitted.

Broken-post repairs

Post replacement normally involves supporting or removing adjoining panels, taking out the failed post and foundation, setting the replacement correctly and reinstalling the fence. This can cost more than a simple panel change because of the labour and groundwork involved.

When several sections are damaged

An estimate should compare targeted repairs with renewing the affected run. Repairing several ageing components individually may not provide the same value as replacing a complete section with compatible materials.
