Timber Fence & Gate Repairs Brisbane

Mel One carries out timber fence repairs and replacement in Brisbane, from straightening a leaning section and replacing damaged posts or palings to removing an old fence and rebuilding a complete run. A dragging gate, split paling or deteriorated rail may be a local repair or a sign of wider post and alignment issues. Send photos of the full fence, approximate length and the result you want.

Repair, replace or inspect?

Timber fence replacement or a targeted repair?

A few damaged palings do not always require a new fence, but widespread deterioration may make replacing a section or the full run more practical. We check the posts, rails, fence line and gate before agreeing what to retain or replace. Gate movement can come from hinges, frame distortion, post movement or ground changes, so adjusting the latch alone may not solve it. For replacement work, the quote sets out the length, materials, removal and disposal, access, gate work and any painting or finishing included.

Fences & gates FAQ

Useful questions before you book

These answers help you prepare a more useful Brisbane carpentry enquiry.

Can a sagging timber gate be repaired?

Often, depending on the condition of the frame, hinges and supporting post. Photos of the whole gate and latch side are useful.

Can only damaged fence sections be replaced?

Localised replacement may be possible when posts and adjoining rails remain sound.

Can you remove an old timber fence and replace the whole run?

Yes. Mel One undertakes timber fence replacement, including removal of the agreed old sections and rebuilding the fence. Send the approximate length and height, photos of the posts and fence line, access details and whether a gate is included. Materials, disposal, any retained sections and applicable site requirements are confirmed in the quote before scheduling.

Can fence repairs include painting?

Yes, fence repair and painting can be scoped together. We first identify which timber needs repair or replacement, then agree the surface preparation, finish and extent of painting. Painting alone does not repair rotten timber or unstable posts.
