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 New Milton
What New Milton weather does to posts
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.
Posts for every kind of New Milton garden
We replace like-for-like or upgrade timber to concrete, whichever suits the fence. 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.
Getting posts in and out
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.
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.

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.
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 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.
