Concrete Spur Repair in Bournemouth
Bournemouth is just over the Dorset border, and we cover it along with the rest of the south coast. A concrete repair spur is a short, heavy-duty concrete post that we concrete into the ground right next to a timber post that has rotted or snapped at ground level.

RRussell Croutear
Contacted SC Maintenance for fence repairs. William was friendly and communicated well throughout. The work was scheduled quickly, and I’m very happy with the results. Would recommend.

Very fast efficient communication and service. Replaced two rotten timber fence posts with new concrete ones to stop a fence from falling down. Texted to say they were on their way, arrived on time, cleared up afterwards and the cost was very reasonable. I will use them again and recommend them to others.

William did a fantastic job fixing our backyard fence, which was in poor condition. Even though the work wasn’t completed on the first day, he came back promptly and finished it exactly as required. I would gladly hire him again.
JJames Cassar
Excellent service - fast, reliable and reasonably priced. Couldn't be happier.
AAmanda Cathcart
We have had a full 12 metre fence, posts and a new custom fit gate replaced by SC Maintenance. William's speed of communication was great, keeping me informed each step of the way. The work was scheduled within a two week period from the initial enquiry. A huge shout out to Dustin, who completed the work ahead of expectation. He was polite, tidy, efficient and carried out the job to a superb quality. We are thrilled with the job and would thoroughly recommend the team. Will definitely use them again.

DDaryl Kellett
"I recently used SCM for some repairs around the house, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The team were professional, punctual, and finished the job in record time. They even took the time to explain the process and cleaned up the entire work area before leaving. Their pricing was fair and transparent. I highly recommend them for any maintenance needs!
MMelissa Haddock
He did an amazing job on our lawn!
AAdam C
Excellent work carried out by SC MAINTENANCE in my garden this week !
And in particular, first class , friendly service by Jonathan, for preparing and installing my new garden gate, and installing concrete spur/ post to my fence to straighten it out.
I do, on this particular occasion knock off one star, purely as nobody turned up to start work on the original date planned , due to staff issues.
This wouldn't normally have been a problem, but would have liked to have been notified that morning , rather than be sat around waiting to find nobody would show up.
Apart from that one gripe, can I recommend Williams team???
ABSOLUTELY! 👍
The work was complete today, and communication was there when needed.
CCarl Green
Very happy with the work William carried out on the replacement of my garden gate, it looks great thank you.
HHeather Stoyles
The team came to replace a fence for my mother, to remove the old one and take it away. I couldn’t be there that day and mum is 87 so I was keen to be contacted if need be. I need not have worried mum reported a respectful team of men who did an excellent job from start to finish. I was asked by phone at points of the work if I wanted this done or the fence in a particular place. Very professional job and ‘lovely people ‘ mum said. She is delighted with the job and the way in which it was done. Thank you so much you come highly recommended.
LLaura Federanko
William and his guys have done an amazing job & I am very pleased with the finished result. Have already asked for further quotes for other jobs . Definitely recommend
JJanet Arrowmsmith
Would thoroughly recommend Will and team.
Put a new fence up in my back garden .
Very happy. Thank you
MMandy Clifford
This is the second time that I have used Will, this time for the outside of my pond and to relay the slabs. They had just started when they came upon a problem meaning they couldn't do what was originally planned. However, Will came up with a solution, got more materials and by the end of the day, I had a great surround on my pond & slabs that didn't move.
I am so pleased with it, and if anything it looks better than what was originally there.
If you want reliable, polite and reasonable prices then I would highly recommend Will.
Why concrete spur repair matters in Bournemouth
Why posts fail in Bournemouth
Much of Bournemouth is built on sandy soil, so post holes can collapse as they're dug and footings need to be solid. Clifftop gardens in Southbourne and Boscombe also take a lot of sea wind.
A tidy fix with the panels left in
Because a spur goes in beside the old post, the panels stay where they are and there's far less upheaval. Larger villas often have good side access, while some converted flats share gardens, so we check who owns and uses each boundary.
Suits most Bournemouth fences
Spurs suit the common 75mm and 100mm square timber posts found on most garden fences. Bournemouth mixes Victorian and Edwardian villas around Boscombe, Westbourne and Southbourne with inter-war and post-war homes in Winton, Moordown and Kinson.
Our concrete spur repair process
- 1
Photos & measurements
Send a photo of the post and the fence either side. We'll tell you if a spur is the right fix.
- 2
Prop & dig
We prop the fence, dig a hole tight against the post and check for pipes and cables.
- 3
Set the spur
The spur is set upright in concrete and the timber post is pulled back to vertical.
- 4
Bolt & tidy
The post is bolted to the spur through pre-drilled holes and we clear up and take away any waste.
Is concrete spur repair right for your fence?
It usually suits when:
- The timber post has rotted or snapped at or just below ground level
- The post is still solid higher up, where it holds the panels
- The panels and rails are still in reasonable condition
- The old footing is hard to dig out, for example next to a wall, shed or patio
When something else is better:
A spur isn't the right fix if the post is rotten all the way up, the panels are falling apart, or several posts in a row have gone. Then replacing posts or the fence usually makes more sense, and we'll tell you so.

Typical concrete spur repair jobs in Bournemouth
A timber post rotted at ground level in sandy soil in Winton or Moordown, where a spur set in fresh concrete gives a firm fix.

Frequently asked questions: Concrete spur repair Bournemouth
Do you really cover Bournemouth from Southampton?
Yes. Bournemouth (BH1 to BH11) is part of our regular area, including Boscombe, Southbourne, Winton, Kinson and Westbourne.
Which side of the fence does the spur go on?
Normally on the side where there's room to dig, which is often your side. If the post is shared, it's worth a quick word with your neighbour.
Is a spur as good as a new post?
For a post that's only rotten at the base, a spur gives a strong, lasting fix. If the whole post is soft, a new post is better.
Does sandy soil affect fence posts?
Yes. Sand gives less grip, so posts need well-compacted concrete footings of the right depth. We allow for that on sandy sites.
