Fence Repairs Melbourne — Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my fence needs repair or replacement?
Push the posts gently at the base. A solid post is immovable — it's in concrete and holding. A compromised post rocks. Dig slightly around a moving post and you'll find either shallow footings, cracked concrete, or rot below the surface. If posts are solid but palings or panels are damaged, that's a repair. If posts are compromised, we'll advise on whether repair or replacement makes financial sense for your situation.
How quickly can you respond to storm damage in Melbourne?
We prioritise storm damage work, particularly in the weeks after major weather events. Response time depends on the volume of work following a storm event — we'll give you a realistic estimate when you call, not a number we can't keep. Emergency assessment is available for structural failures.
Is fence repair covered by home insurance in Melbourne?
Storm damage to fencing is covered under most standard home insurance policies. We provide detailed documentation of damage and repair scope that meets insurance requirements. We recommend taking clear photos of the damage immediately after the event before any temporary repair work. Contact your insurer promptly to register the claim.
Can you repair a section of fence rather than replacing the whole thing?
In most cases, yes — and we recommend repair over replacement wherever it's structurally and economically sensible. There's no reason to replace an entire fence if the majority of it is sound. We assess each job honestly and recommend what the situation actually needs.
How long does a fence repair take?
Single post replacements or small section repairs can typically be completed in a half to full day. Larger repair jobs or significant storm damage runs take longer. We'll give you a clear estimate at assessment.
What's the most common fence repair issue in Melbourne's inner suburbs?
Leaning corner posts — usually from shallow original installation or concrete deterioration over time. Corner posts take lateral load from two directions and fail first when the footing is compromised. We replace with correctly-specified concrete footings and proper post depth. Done once, done properly.
