An old and tired boundary in Bishopsgarth was unlikely to make it through another Teesside winter, so the homeowner chose to replace it before wind and rain caused a failure.

A leaning or weakened fence rarely improves by itself. Once posts have started moving, panels are loose or timber has rotted at ground level, a spell of bad weather can turn a manageable job into an urgent repair.

Replacing the fence before winter

The approved installer removed the failing sections and built a new fence using quality materials supplied and delivered by Dodds Fencing & Sheds. Planning the work before the worst weather arrived meant the customer could choose the right long-term solution rather than making a rushed emergency decision.

A replacement fence can improve privacy, security and the overall appearance of a garden. It also gives the installer the opportunity to correct weak post spacing, poor ground clearance or other problems that shortened the life of the old fence.

Repair or replace?

Not every damaged fence needs to be replaced. A sound run of fencing with one broken post or a small number of damaged boards may be suitable for a cost-effective repair. Replacement is usually the better option when several posts are failing, panels are badly worn or the complete boundary has reached the end of its useful life.

An approved installer can inspect the fence, explain the practical options and quote for the work. The aim is a sensible solution for the condition of the boundary, not unnecessary replacement.
