South Wales gets its share of named storms, and a run of wind finds every fence that was not built properly. If yours came down or is leaning after the last blow, Ben repairs and replaces storm-damaged fences across South Wales — and builds them back to take the next one.
Storms expose the same weakness every time: posts that were not set deep or concreted well enough. A fence with shallow posts acts like a sail — the wind gets under and behind the panels and levers the whole thing over. So the fix is not just to stand it back up; it is to put the groundwork right so it does not happen again. Ben sets replacement posts to the proper depth, concreted, and can add gravel boards and stronger fixings where the run needs them.
If the damage is a section — a couple of panels out, a post snapped — that is a quick repair, and worth doing promptly before an exposed gap lets the wind at the rest of the line. If a whole run has gone, it is a chance to build back better: board-by-board closeboard on deep concreted posts stands up to weather far better than the panels that just blew out, and comes apart a board at a time if anything is ever damaged again.
Ben can usually get out quickly to assess storm damage, make it safe if needed, and quote the repair or replacement free. If you are claiming on insurance, an itemised written quote is exactly what the insurer will want.
Usually yes — Ben can generally get out quickly to assess storm damage, make the run safe, and quote a repair or replacement free. Sorting an exposed gap promptly matters, because it lets the wind at the rest of the line if left.
Almost always because the posts were not set deep or concreted well enough, so the wind levered the whole thing over. Standing it back up without fixing the groundwork just sets up the next failure. Ben resets posts to the proper depth so the fence takes the next storm.
