Fence Paling Repair
isolated timber fence palings on sound supporting rails
Service overview
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.
A repair may depend on reaching the fixing side of the fence. Explain available access and any neighbour or property-manager permission required. Do not assume entry to another property is included merely because the damaged board faces your garden.
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.
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
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.
The board fixing relies on the rail behind it. Soft timber, large splits or failed joints can make a local reattachment unsuitable. Include accessible support photos without dismantling the fence, and identify any uncertainty about the underlying condition.
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.
Officer property context

Review local paling reattachment or isolated replacement using compatible timber dimensions and suitable fixings.
Confirm the Officer address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.
Check for renewed loosening or support movement and discuss any separate coating work. New timber may not visually match weathered boards.
Planning the work
Check for renewed loosening or support movement and discuss any separate coating work. New timber may not visually match weathered boards. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
A loose paling and a moving fence support are different faults. The rail attachment points must be sound before local board work is suitable. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
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. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
