Do you have storm-damaged fences posing a hazard? Are there fallen fences that require attention? At Evolutions Developments & Groundworks, we offer a 24-hour call-out service, seven days a week.

Our skilled team adeptly manages various fence challenges, from sections impacted by strong winds to barriers obstructing pathways. We’re poised for immediate action and conduct rigorous risk assessments to ensure safety for all.

Several factors contribute to fencing damage during storms. To mitigate risks and minimise potential damage, we offer invaluable advice.
 
One primary reason for fencing failures and subsequent repair expenses is substandard or improperly installed fencing. To assist homeowners in safeguarding their properties, gardens, and fencing against adverse weather, we’ve curated a comprehensive guide. Regular inspections and maintenance can significantly enhance the resilience of your fencing against inclement weather.

Protecting Your Fencing During Storms:

1. Eliminate Hazardous or Weak Branches: We strongly advise removing loose or overhanging branches in proximity to fencing, windows, drainage systems, or power lines to avert potential hazards.

2. Manage Garden Debris: Accumulated debris around fencing can accelerate rot, particularly if the timber remains untreated. Given wood’s inherent vulnerability to decay and insect infestations, regular cleaning is paramount. While traditional methods like creosote application offer surface-level protection, they require frequent reapplication and may not adequately treat concealed or underground timber sections.

3. Secure Loose Objects: Prevent potential fence damage by relocating sizable, lightweight items such as rattan furniture and flower pots to secure areas like garages or sheds during stormy weather.

4. Consider Gate Design: Prioritise gate security during adverse weather conditions. When selecting a garden gate, assess its intended function and daily use. Opt for gates reinforced with diagonal and horizontal braces on the rear, enhancing stability. Additionally, gates featuring premium, thicker pales offer increased strength, making them more resilient during storms. Framed gates, designed for added durability, can withstand prolonged wear and tear.

For immediate assistance during fence emergencies, remember that we are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
