Small outdoor jobs that keep a property tidy
A sagging side gate or a run of loose palings does not always need a full fencing crew. We handle minor residential outdoor repairs from Fawkner, including gates, latches, palings and small exterior fittings, when the work is within handyman scope.
Gates, palings and latches
We re-fix loose palings, adjust gates that drag, and replace tired latch hardware. Photos of the post, hinge and ground clearance help us see whether a repair will hold or whether the post itself has failed.
- Re-screwing loose timber palings
- Adjusting a sagging side gate
- Replacing an outdoor latch or drop bolt
What sits outside this service
Full fence replacements, retaining walls and regulated structural work are quoted separately and may need specialists. We will not treat a failing post or a leaning wall as a simple paling repair.
The gate adjustments described here concern manual gates. Electric or motorised gates and security access systems need specialist assessment; do not assume they are included in an ordinary handyman repair.
Photos that help us assess an outdoor repair
Send a photo of the full fence span or gate, plus close-ups of the posts, hinges, latch and ground clearance. Tell us the gate material, how many palings are loose, whether replacement materials are on site and how the work area is accessed.
For a mixed job list, include any indoor repairs in the same visit so access and the total scope can be considered together.
Landlords and agents can include outdoor items in their rental maintenance work orders, with photos and occupied or vacant access details.
Can you repair a manual gate that drags?
A dragging gate may need an adjustment at the hinges or latch, but a moving post or ground clearance problem can change the scope. Photos of the full gate and hinge side help us assess whether a minor repair is suitable.
What if a fence post is rotten?
A loose paling repair will not resolve a failed post. Include a close-up of the post and a wider photo of the fence so the condition can be assessed and specialist work identified where needed.

FAQs
Do you remove green waste?
Small offcuts can usually be bundled for disposal; larger volumes will be noted in your quote.
Do you replace whole fences?
Full fence replacements and retaining walls sit outside day-to-day outdoor maintenance and may need a specialist. Send photos of the posts and span so we can say whether a repair is enough.
