Fence Repairs in Wallasey

Planning fence repairs in Wallasey

Fencing in Wallasey has to cope with two things most inland gardens never see. The first is the wind — the prevailing westerly comes straight off the Irish Sea over New Brighton and Leasowe with nothing to break it, and a close-boarded panel on an exposed Wallasey Village or Harrison Drive boundary acts like a sail in a winter gale. The second is the salt in that air, which rusts ordinary nails, brackets and post shoes long before the timber gives out, so panels drop off sound posts and gates sag on corroded hinges. The ground is different too: much of the town sits on sand, which drains well so posts rot slowly, but grips them poorly, so a post that was only rammed in will rock loose within a season. Add Wallasey's long, narrow back gardens behind the inter-war semis around Liscard and Poulton, and the shared entries behind the Victorian terraces in Seacombe and Egremont, and access is often the first thing we sort out. A suitable repair or replacement plan can include posts set properly in concrete, galvanised or stainless fixings rather than the cheapest bag from the shed, and a treatment or paint finish on new timber so the salt does not strip a fence bare within a couple of winters.
