What do fence repair services include?

Fence repair methods vary depending on the type of damage. To name a few, fence repair may include replacing fence panels or securing loose posts with backfill. No matter what damage your fence has sustained, we’ll help you find a fencing specialist for the job. Here are some fence repair services you can book on Airtasker. 

Wooden fence post repair 

Wood fences take a beating from the sun, wind, rain, and snow. Not to mention, wood-damaging pests subject your fence to rotting. If you need to repair your garden fence posts or secure wobbly posts, you can hire a Tasker to fix that right up. For example, your Tasker may use a fence post repair spike to secure a weak timber post.  

Or they can use fence post spurs to fix broken or rotted fences sections. Fence post brackets can secure fencing and straighten up leaning posts. Please note that one weak fence post can pull down your entire fence, so make sure to schedule your fence post repair as soon as you notice problems with your fence. 

Fence panel repair 

Repairing fence panels is a fast and cost-effective way to fix a fence, including slatted fence panels. Fence panel repair may require removing damaged fence panels and replacing them with new ones. Taskers can also repair slatted fence panels so that you can restore the privacy of your home. 

If your fence simply needs a new paint job, a Tasker can get it done as well. Once your fence is in good shape, you can start planning for a cosy garden deck with a decking specialist

Chain link fence repair

Your chain link fence may give way underneath if you have a dog that keeps digging under your fence. Or perhaps a tree limb fell on your property and ruined your fence rails. (You can hire a Tasker to remove a fallen tree or inspect a dangerous tree in your property, too!) When such issues arise, it’s easy to book chain link fence repairs on our platform. 

Chain link fence repair may include cutting out the damaged section and replacing it with a new piece. Other repair methods include attaching tent stakes to the bottom of your fence. Rather than look through several chain link fence repair companies online, why not hire a Tasker for the job? Find trusted chain link fence repair experts by putting up a task now.

Concrete fence repair 

Using a concrete fence repair spur is another quick and effective way to repair a fence. Fixing your concrete fence posts prolongs the service life of your fence. Rather than spend money right away on a full fence replacement, your Tasker can reinforce your fence from one side. 

Some other issues with concrete fence panels include wobbly footing, water intrusion, and cracks. These cases call for solutions like replacing the whole footing, adding a support post, and injecting epoxy into the cracks.

We have been repairing our fence. Posts are now stable so need to add back on some trims and pieces to be ready to then prepare for painting. I have all wood ready to cut and fit. Must use galvanised nails. Trims that need to be cut and fitted are. 1. Two pieces to cut and fit to top of fence. 2. Approx. 17 trims around edge of metal. These include verticle along the side of posts and horizontal on top edge of metal. Must be cut at appropriate angles at corners to fit togeter like the example in photos. 3. Cut to fit one baseboard along bottom, as per photo. Needs to be cut to fit around crooked footpath. Need done asap. Possible additional tasks could be discussed. Filling rotted holes in one post, and top of some posts, as prep for painting. Further prep for painting. Possibly would consider spray painting of entire fence in one colour.

Our side fence just blew down - it measures 10m long by about 1.5m high. I need help making safe and securing the side of our house. The access is very good - we are a corner block and the fence is on the side street side. There is the potential to quote for the full repair/replace when you get here - but for now I just need help getting the fence off the street and making it safe and secure. Thanks!!

Joe did a great job - on time, quick and quality work. Very easy to deal with.

Surrey Hills VIC, Australia

I have a Highgrove frameless pool fence and need the glass resealed/re attached into the bracket on the ground and a replacement clip supplied by you if possible to join the corner together. Happy to FaceTime and show anyone what needs to be done but I’ve attached a couple of photos as well. At present the weight of the door which is attached to the next panel is forcing the Glass to fall towards the ground so resecuring the base will hopefully re-stabilise the pool fence. Thickness of glass appears to be different on each side of the corner.

Knowledgeable and solved the problem. Very good communicator and made us comfortable having him in our home.

The timber fence at the back is damaged and leaning out of alignment. Several fence boards are loose, and the structure doesn’t look stable. I’m concerned it may get worse or fall over, so it needs repair. Price negotiable.

Our paling fence needs some repairs after recent wind damage. A couple of railings have become disconnected from the upright and one of the uprights is wobbly. About 5m in total have been affected. The adjoining land has been cleared and is awaiting rebuilding, so we are after some temporary repairs to ensure privacy and that the fence is secure for our dog.

A great communicator and easy to work with. The end result looks just as I wanted!
