Fence Panel Replacement in Wallington

Fence panel replacement in Wallington where the posts are still solid. We match the height and style to the existing run so the boundary still looks like one fence rather than a patchwork.

Matching the Existing Fence

Panels come in standard widths and heights, but older fences are not always standard. We measure the gap between posts and the height of the run, then match the style, whether that is lap, closeboard or featherboard. A new panel weathers down to a similar colour within a year.

Swapping Panels on Concrete or Timber Posts

Concrete posts have slots, so the old panel slides up and out and the new one drops in. Timber posts hold panels on clips or brackets that are unscrewed and refitted. Concrete posts make future swaps quicker, which is worth thinking about if several panels are going at once.

Choosing a Stronger Panel

Lap panels are the cheapest and the first to go in wind. Closeboard panels are heavier, with thicker boards fixed to solid rails, and they stand up far better in an exposed garden. If you keep replacing the same panel, moving up a grade usually ends the cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you replace just one fence panel in Wallington?

Yes, single panels are replaced regularly. The main thing we check first is whether the posts either side are sound, since a new panel on a rotten post will not last. If the posts are fine, the swap itself takes under an hour per panel.

How much does fence panel replacement cost?

It depends on the panel type and how many are going. Lap panels are the cheapest option and closeboard costs more but lasts longer. Replacing several at once works out better per panel than calling us back each time one fails. We price after seeing the run.

Do new fence panels need treating?

Most come pressure treated, which protects the timber from rot, but it does not hold the colour. A coat of fence stain or preserver every couple of years keeps the look even and slows weathering. Leave a new panel a few months to dry out before the first coat.
