Trellis repair and replacement - fix broken sections, replace rotten panels, restore support for your climbing plants. Quick repairs that save your established climbers.
### Get Your Trellis Supporting Again
Broken trellis isn't just **unsightly** - it means your climbers lose support and can get damaged. We'll repair broken sections, replace panels that are past saving, and get your trellis doing its job again. Where possible, we'll work around established plants.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Trellis fails from the bottom up (ground contact and moisture). If bottom fixings are rotten, don't just repair the visible break - check the base or it'll fail again in months.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Assessment We check the damage, test all fixings (not just the broken bits), and work out whether repair or replacement makes sense. You get honest advice and options. ### Step 2: Access If plants are in the way, we'll carefully tie them back or support them temporarily. Mature climbers might need some pruning - we'll discuss this before starting. ### Step 3: Repair or Replace Broken sections get fixed with new slats and proper fixings, or we replace whole panels if that's better value. We match style and size as closely as possible. ### Step 4: Replant We position plants back onto the trellis, making sure they're supported properly. If you're handy, you might prefer to do this bit yourself - your call.

Frequently Asked Questions about Trellis Repair in Dawlish
Can you repair trellis without damaging the plants growing on it?
We'll do our best to work around established climbers, but some disturbance is usually unavoidable. Small plants can be temporarily tied back, but mature climbers like wisteria or old roses might need partial cutting back. We'll advise honestly on what's realistic before starting.
Is it better to repair or replace broken trellis?
Depends on the damage and age. A few broken slats can be repaired. If the whole panel's knackered, you're better replacing it - repairs end up costing more and looking patchy. We'll show you the options and let you decide. Sometimes matching old trellis is tricky, so replacement means they all look consistent.
Can you match my existing trellis style?
We'll try. Standard diamond or square trellis is easy to match. Fancy Victorian patterns or old hardwood trellis is harder - we might need to source specialist supplies or you might need to accept close-but-not-exact. Send us a photo and we'll tell you what's possible before quoting.
How long will repaired trellis last?
A proper repair with treated timber should give you another 5-10 years depending on exposure and maintenance. If we're replacing sections, new treated trellis lasts 10-15 years. Paint or stain it every few years and you'll add time. Cheap trellis from garden centers often fails in 3-5 years - proper stuff costs more but lasts.
