Fencing Repair / Replacement in Corby (3)

Finding reliable fence repair in Corby is simple:

• Use directories like Checkatrade to see checked fencers and their customer reviews
• Search “fence repair Corby” online and compare reviews
• Always request written quotes before hiring

Start by checking the damage to see if the fence can be fixed or if it needs replacing. Small fence repairs – like loose panels, broken slats, or minor cracks – can often be handled DIY:

• Reattach loose panels with galvanised nails or screws
• Fill small cracks with wood filler
• Sand and seal the area with a wood preservative to prevent rot For more serious issues, such as rotting panels, leaning posts, or storm damage, it’s usually better to hire a professional fencer.

Hire a fencer if:

• Storm damage has knocked your fence over
• Pets can escape through broken panels
• Several posts or panels are rotten/leaning
• You need specialist tools for vinyl or wrought iron fences

Usually not – unless the fence is:

• Over 2m high (or 1m by a highway)
• Built from stone, brick, or concrete
• In a conservation area or listed property For peace of mind, always check with your local council planning office for confirmation.
