Fence Paling Repair
isolated timber fence palings on sound supporting rails
Cranbourne East property context
For Cranbourne East enquiries, describe the available workspace as well as the requested fence paling repair. A loose paling and a moving fence support are different faults. The rail attachment points must be sound before local board work is suitable. Include the best access contact and explain any restrictions affecting the work area. A useful Cranbourne East enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
Service overview
Post movement or failure belongs to a different assessment and may exceed a small repair. Describe leaning or movement in the whole section. Paling work is bounded to local boards on suitable support, not a way to conceal an unstable fence.
Identify pool barriers, retaining structures or other specialist functions before work is considered. These are excluded from this local paling service. Boundary disputes and major fence replacement also require separate handling rather than an ordinary board-repair booking.
Show the break and the full length of each affected board. Dimensions and remaining condition help determine whether replacement is more practical than repair. A local paling job does not include replacing an entire fence panel or rebuilding unstable supports.
The agreed service covers suitable local paling reattachment/replacement and compatible fixing review. Exclusions: Post repair (existing intent), major panel/fence replacement, retaining structures, boundary disputes, pool barriers, unstable supports.
Common situations
Measure the visible width and thickness where safe and show the board profile. Replacement timber can differ from weathered material in colour and texture. Discuss finish expectations before assuming a new paling will immediately blend with the older fence.
A timber repair and a coating job are separate parts of the scope. Ask whether any finish preparation is included and follow material guidance. Repeated deterioration should prompt a review of exposure and support rather than repeated cosmetic replacement alone.
Identify how many palings are affected and where they have detached. Refixing may be possible when the boards and rails remain sound. A moving fence section needs a wider assessment rather than simply adding more screws through the visible boards.

Show the affected boards, the complete fence section and accessible rails, including views from both sides where permission allows. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.

Review local paling reattachment or isolated replacement using compatible timber dimensions and suitable fixings. Timing depends on the actual condition, access, quantities and required stages.
