Why concrete spur repair matters in Havant
Why posts fail in Havant
Gardens near Langstone Harbour and on Hayling Island take a lot of salt wind, which is hard on timber panels and fixings. Inland estates often still have the original timber posts, which tend to rot at the base after a few wet winters.
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. Estate houses usually have a side gate. Some terraces in the older parts of Havant and Emsworth only have access through the house, and Hayling jobs need a bit more travel time across the bridge, so we allow for that when we book you in.
Suits most Havant fences
Spurs suit the common 75mm and 100mm square timber posts found on most garden fences. Havant borough mixes the old town around the railway and shopping centre with large post-war estates at Leigh Park and West Leigh, bigger family homes through Waterlooville, Cowplain and Purbrook, harbour-side streets in Emsworth and Langstone, and the island villages on Hayling.
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.

Frequently asked questions: Concrete spur repair Havant
Do you cover Waterlooville, Emsworth and Hayling Island?
Yes. We cover the whole of Havant borough (PO7 to PO11), including Waterlooville, Cowplain, Purbrook, Leigh Park, Emsworth, Langstone and Hayling Island.
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.
We're on Hayling Island. Is that a problem?
No. We work on Hayling regularly. Just allow a bit of extra travel time on busy summer days when you book.
