Concrete Spur Repair in Christchurch
Christchurch sits just east of Bournemouth, where the Avon and the Stour meet the harbour, and we cover the town along with Mudeford, Highcliffe and the villages around it. 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.

Why concrete spur repair matters in Christchurch
Why posts fail in Christchurch
A lot of Christchurch is low-lying ground between the two rivers and the harbour, so gardens can stay wet for long spells and timber posts rot quickly at the base. Homes near Mudeford and along the Highcliffe cliff top also take salty sea wind, which is hard on panels and fixings.
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. Bungalows and estate homes usually have a side gate, while some older terraces near the town centre only have access through the house, so we check from your photos before we quote.
Suits most Christchurch fences
Spurs suit the common 75mm and 100mm square timber posts found on most garden fences. Christchurch has older streets and cottages around the Priory and the quay, bungalows and family homes through Mudeford, Friars Cliff and Highcliffe, post-war and newer estates at Somerford and Jumpers, and village plots out towards Burton and Bransgore.
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 Christchurch
A timber post rotted at ground level in a wet Stanpit or Purewell garden, where the panels are still sound and a concrete spur gets it upright again.
Every fence is different, so the quickest way to a price is a few photos and a rough measurement. We'll tell you honestly whether concrete spur repair is the right fix or whether something else makes more sense.
Frequently asked questions: Concrete spur repair Christchurch
Do you cover Mudeford, Highcliffe and Burton?
Yes. We cover BH23, including Christchurch town, Mudeford, Highcliffe, Friars Cliff, Somerford, Burton, Walkford and Bransgore.
How long does a spur repair take?
Usually well under a day per post, because the panels stay in place. The concrete needs time to cure before the fence takes a heavy load.
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.
Our garden gets waterlogged in winter. What fence lasts best?
Concrete posts and concrete gravel boards keep the timber out of the wet ground, which usually gives the fence a much longer life than timber posts set straight into soggy soil.
