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.
Why fence post repair matters in Lymington
What Lymington weather does to posts
A lot of the ground round Lymington and Pennington is gravel sitting on clay, so the top digs easily but the bottom of the hole holds water, and timber posts sit in wet clay all winter. Gardens facing the marshes at Pennington and Keyhaven, and along the cliff top at Milford on Sea, take the south-westerlies straight off the Solent, salt and all, which is hard on panels and fixings.
Posts for every kind of Lymington garden
We replace like-for-like or upgrade timber to concrete, whichever suits the fence. Lymington has Georgian and Victorian town houses up the High Street and old cottages down by the Quay, 1960s to 1980s estates and semis through Pennington, Buckland and Woodside, plenty of bungalows in Milford on Sea, Everton and Hordle, and bigger plots with long boundaries out towards Boldre and Sway.
Getting posts in and out
Estate houses and bungalows usually have a side gate, but some of the older terraces and cottages near the Quay and the High Street only have access through the house, and summer traffic on the A337 can be slow, so we check access from your photos and plan the day before we come.
Our fence post repair process
- 1
Photos & measurements
Tell us how many posts, whether they're timber or concrete, and the fence height.
- 2
Remove panels & old post
We carefully lift out the panels either side and dig out the old post and footing.
- 3
Set the new post
The new timber or concrete post is set in concrete, lined up and levelled with its neighbours.
- 4
Refit & tidy
Panels and gravel boards go back in, and we clear up and take away the old post.
Is fence post repair right for your fence?
It usually suits when:
- A post leans or rocks when you push the fence
- A timber post is soft, split or rotten at the base
- A concrete post has cracked or snapped
- Panels have dropped out because the post has moved
When something else is better:
If most posts along the run have gone, it's usually better value to replace the fence rather than chase one post at a time. We'll say so if that's the case.

Frequently asked questions: Fence post repair Lymington
Do you cover Milford on Sea, Sway and the villages?
Yes. We cover SO41, including Lymington town, Pennington, Buckland, Milford on Sea, Keyhaven, Everton, Hordle, Boldre and Sway.
Can you replace a concrete post without replacing the panels?
Yes. We slide the panels out, replace the post and slide them back in, as long as they're in good condition.
Do you check for pipes and cables before digging?
Yes. We ask what you know about services in the garden and dig carefully by hand around the post.
Our garden faces the Solent and the fence 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.
