Small-scale fence and gate fixes. Not full new fence lines.

What's included

• Single panel replacement - featheredge, closeboard or lap panel
• Single-post reset or replacement
• Gate re-hang, latch replacement, drop-bolt fitting
• Hinge upgrade to stainless or hot-dip galvanised
• Gravel-board replacement
• Gate-post plumbing where the post has racked over

Ramsgate-specific notes

Salt-air hinges. Zinc-plated hinges on any gate within a mile of the sea corrode in eighteen months. Every gate we service gets stainless A2 or hot-dip galv fittings. It costs three quid more per hinge and it stops the annual call-back.

Post rot vs post lean. A leaning post is usually not rotted - it's the concrete collar that's failed on the wind-loaded side. We dig the collar out, re-plumb, and re-concrete. Full post replacement is only needed if the timber has actually gone below ground level.

Where we hand off. Full new fence line, driveway gates with automation, palisade security fencing - all specialist contractor jobs. We can recommend a fencer if you don't already have one.

Timing

A single panel or post job is a half-day. Gate re-hang with hardware swap is a half-day. Two or three fixes on one visit is a full day.

Pricing

£95 covers the call-out and the first hour. £45 per hour after that - you're billed for the time the job takes beyond the first hour, from a single panel swap to a full gate rebuild with new hardware.
