Common questions
Phone 03 349 0227 and describe the job. Most quotes need a look at the site first — the ground, access and the existing fence all affect the work.
Halswell and the wider Christchurch area, including jobs across Canterbury. If you're further out, phone and ask — rural and lifestyle-block fencing is part of the work.
It depends on the posts and rails. If the structure is sound, replacing palings and re-fixing rails is sensible. If posts are rotten at ground level across the whole line, replacement usually costs less in the long run. You'll get a straight answer either way.
