Salisbury was laid out in 1848 on the banks of the Little Para River, and grew rapidly from the 1940s when wartime industry brought thousands of new residents. The result is a suburb with fences of every age, from older homes near the town centre to much newer estates. Lee repairs them all, and because Salisbury is a little further out, he'll help you make the most of each visit.
Leaning fences are the most common Salisbury call-out, and there are two usual culprits:
Timber posts decay fastest where they meet the soil, so a post can look fine above ground and be hollow just below it.
Clay soils across Adelaide's northern suburbs swell in winter and shrink in summer, which slowly works footings loose and tips posts out of plumb.
Pushing the panel back upright doesn't last. The fix is a new post, properly footed, with the panel re-fixed to it.
If several posts have gone along one side, we'll quote that run separately so you can compare repair against replacement.
✓ New Posts, Properly Footed
✓ Panels Re-Fixed
✓ Repair vs Replace Quoted
Dented or wind-damaged sheets replaced, loose rails re-fixed, rusted posts replaced. If your colour is no longer available, we'll show you the closest current match before ordering.
Posts, rails, palings and capping, and gates with timber frames.
Front and pool fence sections straightened or replaced, loose panels re-fixed.
Strong winter winds sweep across the open northern plains, and a fence that was already weak is often the first thing to go. If a section has come down:
Keep pets and children away from loose sheets and exposed screws.
Take photos before anything is moved; your insurer may ask for them.
Call Lee to make the section safe and quote the full repair.
Storm repairs usually mean new posts as well as panels, because the posts that gave way were often the weak point to begin with. We'll show you the post bases so you can see why.
✓ Gates That Latch Properly
✓ Posts Re-Set or Replaced
✓ Frames Squared & Braced
Salisbury is a little further from our base than our core suburbs, so it pays to group work together. Before you call, walk around the house and note anything else that needs doing. Jobs commonly added to a Salisbury fence repair:
One visit for several jobs means less time waiting for different trades and a simpler quote.
"I am so Glad I found Lee Jones on Loyal Property Maintenance after ringing around different people. We had Lee install lattice and some new post and he organised delivery, He does his job to a sensational level."
"I had a gap between my fence post and gate, Lee fixed the gap and now the gate latches perfectly. Not to mention the few other repairs that were needed around the house. Lee is knowledgeable, friendly and very reasonably priced. Thanks Lee, I am very happy"
Because the post or footing has failed. Until the post is replaced or re-footed, the section will keep moving.
Where the colour is still made, yes. Discontinued colours can't be matched exactly; we'll show you the nearest option.
Only if you want them to share the cost. South Australian law requires a written notice, and your neighbour then has 30 days to respond. Urgent repairs can proceed sooner.
