Identifying the Real Problem
When a fence starts leaning or panels start rattling, most homeowners assume the panels are to blame. But in many cases, it is the posts that have failed. Wood rots at ground level where moisture is trapped, and over time even concrete-set posts can be pushed over by frost or saturated ground. Our team inspects the whole fence line when we visit, not just the obviously damaged section, so we can identify every failing post before we start work.
Proper Post Replacement That Lasts
Replacing a fence post correctly means digging out the old post and any remaining concrete, setting a new post of the right size and type to a suitable depth, and packing it in with concrete that is given time to cure before the panels are refixed. We do not use post spikes as a shortcut. A post set properly in concrete will outlast a spiked post significantly, particularly on the exposed garden plots common across the Burgess Hill and Hassocks area.
Post Repairs and Bracing for Minor Issues
Not every leaning post needs full replacement. In some cases, a concrete repair collar or a prop brace can stabilise a post that has shifted but is still structurally sound. Our team assesses each post individually and recommends the most appropriate and cost-effective solution. We will always be straight with you about whether repair or replacement is the better option for your fence in the long run.

All work carried out by our own in-house team
We were called to a property in Plumpton Green where an entire run of fence along the garden boundary was leaning noticeably inward. The customer had assumed the panels needed replacing. On inspection, we found that three posts had rotted at ground level. We replaced all three posts, set them in concrete, and refixed the existing panels, which were still in good condition. A much more cost-effective outcome for the customer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my fence posts need replacing in Burgess Hill?
Common signs include a fence that leans or wobbles, posts that rock when pushed, visible rot at the base of wooden posts, or panels that keep coming loose despite being fixed. M&S Landscaping will inspect your fence posts for free and advise you honestly on what needs doing.
Can you replace just one or two fence posts in Burgess Hill?
Yes. We carry out single post replacements as well as larger runs across Burgess Hill and the surrounding area. If only one or two posts have failed, there is no need to replace the whole fence. We will assess and advise during your free quote visit.
How long does fence post replacement take in Burgess Hill?
Most fence post replacement jobs in Burgess Hill are completed within a day. The concrete needs time to cure before heavy weight is placed back on the post, so we typically refix panels the same day for smaller jobs or return the following day for larger replacements.
