Damage Triage

What kind of damage are you looking at?

Pick the closest match. We will tell you whether it is an emergency to secure today or a repair to book in, what to do right now, and what to photograph before anyone touches it.

Emergency

Emergency: secure the boundary today

Do this now

If the yard is now open to a street, pool, or a pet or child can get out, treat it as urgent. We can install temporary strapping or security panels the same day, then source matching materials for the permanent repair.

Before anyone touches it

Photograph the whole run and the failed section before you move anything. Storm damage is often claimable on the building portion of your policy.

Read This Before You Spend

Repair or replace? Our honest threshold

A cheap patch on a failing fence is money wasted. We use one rule of thumb so the decision is not a guess.

Repair zone~40% tipping pointReplace zone

If more than roughly 40% of a section needs replacing, or the repair quote creeps past 30 to 40% of a full replacement, a new fence is usually the better spend.

Repair is the right call when
Isolated broken or leaning posts
One or a few damaged Colorbond panels
A run of rotted palings on otherwise sound rails and posts
Storm damage confined to one section
We will tell you to replace when
!Post bases rotted or rusted through along the run
!Rails failing in multiple places
!The fence is past its service life and repairs keep recurring
!More than about 40% of the section is compromised

We give you the number at the assessment and let you decide. Sometimes the honest answer is that repair is not worth it.

Insurance, Straight

Will insurance cover it? The honest version

Most Melbourne fencing sites blur this. Here is how fence cover actually works so you know before you lodge.

!

Cover varies by policy. Always confirm against your product disclosure statement or with your insurer before relying on it.

01
It is the building policy, not contents

Fences are a structure, so cover sits under the building portion of a home policy, not contents. A contents-only policy generally will not respond.

02
Only if it was sound and maintained

Insurers cover storm or impact damage only where the fence was structurally sound and well maintained before the event. A fence already in disrepair is usually declined.

03
Wear and tear is excluded

Deterioration, rot, rust, and termite damage are not covered on any standard policy. Those are maintenance repairs, not claims.

04
We document it properly

For claimable damage we provide a written assessment, dated photographs, and an itemised repair quote in insurer-ready format.
