From storm-damaged Colorbond in residential backyards to breached security fencing in Fyshwick and Hume. Canberra Fencing provides rapid assessment, insurance-ready quotes, and structural rectification for leaning posts and broken gates.
Restoring privacy and safety to Canberra homes. We tackle the specific issues caused by our clay soils and high winds.
Rapid perimeter security restoration for depots, schools, and industrial sites in Hume, Mitchell & Fyshwick.
Canberra's strong westerly winds push older fences over time. We install angled steel props or deeper footings to brace against wind load.
Reactive soil in Gungahlin swells when wet, lifting posts out of the ground. We concrete posts below the active zone (600mm+) to stabilize them.
If your timber posts are hollow, termites are likely the cause. We replace them with Galvanized Steel posts that are 100% termite proof.
Indicative pricing for common rectification works.

Yes. We provide detailed, itemized reports and quotations specifically formatted for major insurers (NRMA, AAMI, GIO, etc.). This includes photos of the damage and a breakdown of "make-safe" costs vs full repair costs.
For Colorbond fences, yes. We can match all current BlueScope colours and most discontinued ones (like Terrace or Hedge). For timber fences, new wood will look different initially but will silver off to match the existing fence over 6-12 months.
If more than 30-40% of the fence is damaged or if the posts are rotted at ground level, replacement is often more cost-effective in the long run. However, for a single leaning post or 1-2 storm-damaged panels, a repair is significantly cheaper.
