Great job, had a spur put in to save the whole fence coming down. Short notice, good value and nice solid tidy job. Thanks William

Why concrete spur repair matters in New Milton
Why posts fail in New Milton
Much of the ground round New Milton and Barton is clay, so post holes hold water and timber posts sit in the wet all winter. Gardens near the cliff top at Barton on Sea take the wind and salt straight off the sea, 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 houses usually have a side gate, but some terraces and town houses only have access through the house, so we check access from your photos before we quote.
Suits most New Milton fences
Spurs suit the common 75mm and 100mm square timber posts found on most garden fences. New Milton is mostly 20th-century family homes and bungalows, with older houses around Old Milton and the station, estates through Ashley and Fernhill, a lot of retirement bungalows and flats in Barton on Sea, and bigger plots with long boundaries out towards Bashley and Wootton.
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 New Milton
A timber post rotted at ground level in a wet Ashley or Fernhill garden, where the panels are still sound and a concrete spur gets it upright again.

Frequently asked questions: Concrete spur repair New Milton
Do you cover Barton on Sea, Ashley and Bashley?
Yes. We cover BH25, including New Milton town, Old Milton, Barton on Sea, Ashley, Fernhill, Becton, Bashley and Wootton.
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.
Our fence near the cliff top keeps blowing down. What helps?
Concrete posts set deep enough, sturdy panels and galvanised fixings make a big difference on an exposed spot. Send us photos and we'll suggest what suits your garden.
