Fence Repairs & Replacement in Mackay
Fences take a beating in North Queensland. Wet season storms, strong winds, termites and simple age can leave a fence leaning, missing palings or with gates that no longer close. Landforge assesses damaged fences and gives you a straight answer about whether a repair makes sense or whether replacement is the better long-term value.
We repair and replace both timber and Colorbond fencing, including individual sections, posts, rails, gates and full runs.
Repair or replace?
If the posts are sound and damage is limited to a few palings or panels, a repair is often the sensible option. If posts are rotting at ground level, the fence is leaning along its length or materials are no longer available, replacement usually delivers a better result for the money.
Storm and impact damage
After a storm or vehicle impact, we can make the area safe, document the damage with photos and provide a quotation you can use when discussing the work with your insurer. We cannot make decisions about insurance cover, but we can supply the information your insurer asks for.
Gate repairs
Sagging, dragging or unlatched gates are a security problem. Rehanging, bracing, replacing hinges and latches or rebuilding the gate frame are common fixes.
Materials and design options
Replacement palings, rails and posts
Matched as closely as possible to your existing fence.
Colorbond panels and rails
Replacement sections in standard colours.
Gate hardware
Hinges, latches, drop bolts and closers.
Practical considerations
- New timber will look different to weathered timber at first; staining can help blend it.
- Older fence colours or profiles may have been discontinued, which affects how seamless a repair looks.
- Fences containing older fibre-cement sheeting may require specialist assessment for asbestos before removal.
Local to Mackay
Following the wet season, we often see leaning fences where saturated soil has let posts move. Properties around Bakers Creek, South Mackay and Eton with heavier soils are particularly prone to this.
