Strong winds and rain can make the ground wet, which creates perfect conditions for fences to be blown over.
If this happens, we'd advise the following:
- If the fence has blown over onto a public right of way, contact us straight away and we'll attend to make it safe.
- If your fence has blown over in your garden, you can report a repair here. Try and stay away from the affected area until we're able to attend. Once we attend, we'll make the fence safe. This might mean that we'll remove the damaged fence and you may be left with a gap in your fence temporarily. Where possible, we'll mark the boundary with a temporary orange mesh.
