Ask about work in HornsbyA useful enquiry example
When fence posts look soft at ground level, note how many are affected and show the adjoining rails before requesting a replacement price.
A single post or rail can sometimes be replaced while keeping sound panels. Repeated failing posts or widespread decay may make a longer section more practical. Discuss boundaries and neighbour access with the relevant owners before work is arranged.

05Timber fence maintenance & repairsTimber fence maintenance, local repairs and section replacement in Sydney. Keep sound timber in use: assess posts, rails, palings and fixings before deciding what needs attention.Explore this service
01Timber Window RepairsA swollen sash, soft sill or decayed frame can have very different causes. Start with the timber component and the way the window opens, then decide whether a local repair is sensible.Explore this service
02Timber Door & Door Frame RepairsA door that rubs, drops or will not latch may need an adjustment rather than a new door. Rot at the jamb or threshold is a different repair and needs the affected timber checked.Explore this service
06Timber Gate RepairsA manual timber side gate that drags or will not latch might need hinges, a post, the latch or the gate leaf assessed—not necessarily an entirely new gate.Explore this service
07Deck Repairs & Board ReplacementLoose or rotten deck boards may be a surface repair, but a soft area or moving balustrade calls for a closer look at the supporting structure before anyone walks on it.Explore this service
03Timber Fascia, Eaves & Bargeboard RepairsThe timber behind a gutter, a bargeboard and an eaves lining are not the same component. Identifying the material and source of damage is the first step.Explore this service
04Rotten Timber RepairsWhen the damaged component is unclear or decay appears in several places, first map the timber, moisture and load path. A small surface patch is not always a durable repair.Explore this service
08Interior Carpentry & Timber TrimsDamaged skirting, architraves and interior timber trims need a careful match to the room—not a generic strip of timber attached over the old profile.Explore this service
09Cabinet Door & Drawer RepairsA dropped cupboard door or drawer that jams may be a hinge, runner, fixing point or cabinet-box problem. Identify the fitting before buying a replacement.Explore this service
Not sure which repair?Show us the timber. We’ll help define the job.Send a close-up, a wider view and your suburb.Start an enquiry Preparing access and the quote
Include Hornsby in your enquiry, a wide photo, a close-up of each fault and approximate dimensions. Mention any shared access, stairs, parking or property-manager arrangements that apply to your property. You do not need to publish a full street address.
Mark which timber you want to keep and which parts may need replacement. Ask the quote to separate timber, hardware, finishing and removal of old materials so you can compare the same scope of work.

Before sending your enquiry
Can I ask about fence maintenance here?
Yes. Describe posts, rails, boards and fixings, then use the timber fence maintenance page to prepare photos. Confirm the work at your location before booking.
Do the project photographs prove a job in Hornsby?
No location is assigned to a photograph without confirmation. Service-page photographs illustrate the real work supplied by the business, not evidence of a job in every suburb.
Planning the repair
Can a soft fence post be replaced while keeping the rails?
Show the post base and where each rail enters or fixes to the post. Note which adjacent spans must remain in place and any access obstacles. Retention depends on the condition of the joints and timber, so request an allowance for affected connections rather than assuming all rails can be reused unchanged.
What changes the quote
Send a full-length view, post bases, rails, affected boards and both sides of the access. Height, length, timber match, disposal, ground conditions and neighbour arrangements change the estimate.
Agree the inclusions
This is timber fencing, not Colorbond, glass pool fencing or powered gates. Boundary ownership and cost sharing are matters for the parties and applicable advice, not a legal conclusion from a website. New full-fence installation requires separate scope approval.
Compare repair options for this job
Price the post and its rail connections together. Retain sound rails when suitable, but do not assume they will survive removal without an agreed allowance for affected joints.
