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.

Very fast efficient communication and service. Replaced two rotten timber fence posts with new concrete ones to stop a fence from falling down. Texted to say they were on their way, arrived on time, cleared up afterwards and the cost was very reasonable. I will use them again and recommend them to others.

William did a fantastic job fixing our backyard fence, which was in poor condition. Even though the work wasn’t completed on the first day, he came back promptly and finished it exactly as required. I would gladly hire him again.
JJames Cassar
Excellent service - fast, reliable and reasonably priced. Couldn't be happier.
AAmanda Cathcart
We have had a full 12 metre fence, posts and a new custom fit gate replaced by SC Maintenance. William's speed of communication was great, keeping me informed each step of the way. The work was scheduled within a two week period from the initial enquiry. A huge shout out to Dustin, who completed the work ahead of expectation. He was polite, tidy, efficient and carried out the job to a superb quality. We are thrilled with the job and would thoroughly recommend the team. Will definitely use them again.

"I recently used SCM for some repairs around the house, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The team were professional, punctual, and finished the job in record time. They even took the time to explain the process and cleaned up the entire work area before leaving. Their pricing was fair and transparent. I highly recommend them for any maintenance needs!
MMelissa Haddock
He did an amazing job on our lawn!
AAdam C
Excellent work carried out by SC MAINTENANCE in my garden this week !
And in particular, first class , friendly service by Jonathan, for preparing and installing my new garden gate, and installing concrete spur/ post to my fence to straighten it out.
I do, on this particular occasion knock off one star, purely as nobody turned up to start work on the original date planned , due to staff issues.
This wouldn't normally have been a problem, but would have liked to have been notified that morning , rather than be sat around waiting to find nobody would show up.
Apart from that one gripe, can I recommend Williams team???
ABSOLUTELY! 👍
The work was complete today, and communication was there when needed.
CCarl Green
Very happy with the work William carried out on the replacement of my garden gate, it looks great thank you.
HHeather Stoyles
The team came to replace a fence for my mother, to remove the old one and take it away. I couldn’t be there that day and mum is 87 so I was keen to be contacted if need be. I need not have worried mum reported a respectful team of men who did an excellent job from start to finish. I was asked by phone at points of the work if I wanted this done or the fence in a particular place. Very professional job and ‘lovely people ‘ mum said. She is delighted with the job and the way in which it was done. Thank you so much you come highly recommended.
LLaura Federanko
William and his guys have done an amazing job & I am very pleased with the finished result. Have already asked for further quotes for other jobs . Definitely recommend
JJanet Arrowmsmith
Would thoroughly recommend Will and team.
Put a new fence up in my back garden .
Very happy. Thank you
MMandy Clifford
This is the second time that I have used Will, this time for the outside of my pond and to relay the slabs. They had just started when they came upon a problem meaning they couldn't do what was originally planned. However, Will came up with a solution, got more materials and by the end of the day, I had a great surround on my pond & slabs that didn't move.
I am so pleased with it, and if anything it looks better than what was originally there.
If you want reliable, polite and reasonable prices then I would highly recommend Will.
Why fence post repair matters in Totton
What Totton weather does to posts
Gardens backing onto woodland, fields or open Forest land are more exposed, and trees near the boundary can push posts over as their roots grow.
Posts for every kind of Totton garden
We replace like-for-like or upgrade timber to concrete, whichever suits the fence. Totton is largely estates built from the 1960s to the 1990s in Calmore, Hounsdown and Testwood, with older homes around Eling and more rural plots towards Netley Marsh and Cadnam.
Getting posts in and out
Some rural plots have long drives or gravel tracks, so we ask about access for heavy materials.
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 Totton
Do you cover the villages around Totton?
Yes. We cover SO40, including Eling, Marchwood, Ashurst, Netley Marsh and Cadnam.
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.
Can a leaning post just be straightened?
Sometimes, if the post is sound and only the footing has moved. If it's rotten or cracked, it needs replacing.
A tree root has pushed my fence post over. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes. We can reset or replace the post, moving it slightly along the line if the root is in the way. We won't cut significant roots without checking with you first.
