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.

Fix a broken fence extension

$100

Doncaster East VIC, Australia

27th Jan 2025

I need someone with experience in fence repairs to help fix a damaged fence extension section. The section is approximately 3000x600mm. So will probably need two 1500x600mm lattice fence extensions and two 65x22mm 2.7m pine decks as lattice surrounding timber. The work involves: • Removing damaged parts of the fence extension. • Reinforcing or replacing with durable new fence extension. • Ensuring the extension is securely fastened, aligned, and visually neat. • Completing the repairs from my side of the fence to avoid disturbing the neighbors. The finished result should be strong and aesthetically pleasing. If you have experience with similar jobs, please get in touch with your quote and availability.

Help repairing a small wooden retaining wall

$400

Ashburton VIC 3147, Australia

22nd Jan 2025

We have an existing wooden retaining wall which needs repairing. I'm seeking a general handyman to assist me. It’s not large or high. I have already dismantled most of the area needing repair and have purchased steel posts, the necessary wooden planks, and concrete to set the posts. One of the issues is that the existing posts that were holding used to support the existing wooden planks were deteriorated/rotten. However as I tried to remove them I was only able to get so much of them dug out. I’m seeking someone to come and help me finish off the job by removing the remaining material from the two post holes I have dug, removing the final post then setting the posts into concrete.

Danny was a pleasure to work with. He was flexible and collaborative throughout the project to fix our retaining wall. It was clear he has many years of trade experience and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a handyman.
