### Quick Panel Replacement
Fence panels take a beating from Devon weather - eventually they rot, split, or get storm damage. **One damaged panel compromises your whole boundary** - privacy gone, pets can get out, security reduced. Replacing a panel is straightforward if the posts are sound and you match the style properly.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Check neighbouring panels when one fails. If one's rotten, others from the same batch might not be far behind. Sometimes replacing 2-3 panels at once makes sense.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fence Panel Replacement in Ottery St Mary
Can you match my existing fence panels?
Usually yes - standard panel sizes and styles are easy to match. If your fence is unusual or old, matching might be harder. I'll do my best to find something close, or we can discuss replacing a few panels so they all match. Photos help.
Do you just replace the panel or check the posts too?
I check the posts as part of the job. No point fitting a new panel to a wobbly post. If posts need attention (reinforcing, replacing, re-setting), I'll let you know before starting. Sometimes the panel's fine but the posts are the real problem.
What if more than one panel is damaged?
Same approach, just scales up. Multiple panels in one visit is usually cheaper per panel than doing them separately - I'm already there with tools and materials. Let me know how many need doing when you enquire.
How long does a replacement panel last?
Pressure-treated panels should give you 10-15 years if the posts are good and they're fitted properly. Cheap untreated panels won't make 5 years. Devon weather's hard on fencing - quality timber matters.
