Fencing Repaired with Steel Spurs – Hilton, Derby

We’ve been in the fencing business for a good while now, and one thing we’ve learned is that a fence is more than just a boundary; it’s a statement of care for a property. Whether you’re a homeowner or a business owner, keeping your fence in top condition is crucial. That’s where we come in with Ashdale Fencing‘s repair and upgrade services.

Take for instance this job in Hilton, Derbyshire, tackling a garden fence that had seen better days. Standing at a lofty 8ft, it had become a bit of a sail in the wind, and the recent gusts had given it quite a beating. But, there’s no need to fret; this is a classic case for us at Ashdale Fencing – one that we handle with expertise and care.

Heavy-Duty Solutions for Lasting Repairs

The solution was clear: installation of heavy-duty RSJ steel repair spurs. These aren’t your everyday fixes; they’re robust, they’re sturdy, and they’re designed to brace your garden fence against the mightiest of winds. By reinforcing the existing posts, we provide your fencing with the backbone it needs to withstand the elements – a necessity in our sometimes tempestuous British weather.  We used a post shovel to dig down and create a suitable-sized hole for the spurs.   We then backfill that with concrete to ensure that they won’t move.   Then we attach the spurs to the fence, adding that extra layer of strength.

Preserving Beauty and Durability

But it’s not just about reinforcing. Part of my visit also involved giving the front of the fence a good coat of creosote substitute, a wood preserver that not only keeps the wood healthy but also refreshes its look. It’s like giving your fence a spa day; it comes out looking and feeling refreshed, ready to face the world (or just more wind) again.  Secondly, it protects it from the elements and that bit of wear and tear that might have set in here and there. If you inspect your fiance, even a short time after installation, you will notice that the sun and rain can quickly make an effect on it. Then algae and insects get to work.  That’s why it’s good to make sure you stay on top of preservation.

Just ask if your fence needs repairs.

If you’ve got a fence that’s feeling the brunt of wind damage or shifting ground conditions, don’t wait for a small issue to become a big problem. Fences can be mended, reinforced, and revitalized, often saving you the expense and hassle of a full replacement.

So, if you’re in Hilton, Derby, or anywhere in the East Midlands, and your fence is waving a white flag, give Ashdale Fencing. a call. We’re here to reinforce, repair, and rejuvenate, making sure your fencing stands proud and strong, come rain or shine. Let’s give your fence the care it deserves – get in touch today.
