Fence repair in Broadstairs.

The holiday-let repair pattern

A big share of the Broadstairs fencing work is single-item repair. A guest at a holiday let arrives and the rear-garden fence panel is down after a storm. The landlord is in London and cannot be on site. WhatsApp is the fastest route: photo of the damage, postcode, we come back with a fixed price the same day, book the work in that week, and send completion photos when done. No landlord visit required.

Single panel replacement

Standard 6ft x 6ft overlap or lap panel, supplied and fitted between the existing concrete or timber posts. £70 to £130 depending on panel spec and access. Includes stripout and disposal of the old panel. Cheap enough that most landlords do not want an estimate: it is a fixed £90 for a standard overlap panel replacement in most Broadstairs gardens, all in.

Post reset and post replacement

A leaning timber post can sometimes be pulled straight and re-concreted if the timber below ground is still sound. £60 to £100 per post for a straightforward reset. A rotted timber post needs full replacement: £80 to £150 for a like-for-like timber replacement, or £120 to £180 to swap in a concrete post while we are there (which we usually recommend on the coastal belt).

Gate re-hang and hardware replacement

Sagging gate is almost always a failed hinge or a rotted gate post. Re-hang a gate with new hot-dip galv hinges and stainless coach bolts: £80 to £160 including hardware. Full gate post replacement adds £120 to £200. Salt-air rated hardware fitted as standard on any coastal repair.

Storm damage after a Broadstairs blow

The Kingsgate and North Foreland belt catches serious wind. After any south-westerly gale we typically pick up a run of storm repair calls: panels missing, gate leaves ripped off, top rails snapped. We prioritise these, and for landlords with multiple holiday-let properties we can sweep a portfolio in a single day.
