What affects the cost of emergency fencing
Every emergency is different, so we explain the options and the cost before work starts.
How much is damaged
A single panel is a quick fix, a whole boundary takes longer.
Make-safe vs permanent
Temporary fencing keeps things secure now. A permanent repair is quoted once the site is safe.
Fallen trees
A tree on the fence line has to be cut and cleared first. See emergency tree work.
Access & ground
Wet ground and tight access change how quickly we can work.
Materials
Matching an existing fence, or upgrading it, changes what is needed.
Neighbours
A shared boundary can mean sharing the cost. See the FAQ below.
For permanent fences, see residential, rural and commercial fencing.

Emergency fencing questions
01What is emergency fencing?
Emergency fencing is fast, temporary fencing put up to make a property or site safe and secure after storm damage, an accident, a break-in or a sudden hazard. We can also repair or replace damaged permanent fences.
02How fast can you respond?
We respond as quickly as we can, but we don't guarantee a set response time. Call 021 024 76217, tell us what has happened and whether anyone or any stock is at risk, and we'll let you know what we can do and when.
03Do you do temporary make-safe fencing?
Yes. We install temporary fencing to secure hazards, cordon off damage, and keep people and stock safe until permanent repairs can be made.
04Can you secure a site after storm damage?
We can. After storms we secure damaged boundaries, clear and make safe fallen trees on fences, and get your property secure again.
05Do you repair or replace damaged fences?
Yes. Once the situation is safe, we can repair the damaged section or replace the fence entirely, whatever's needed to put things right.
06What should I do first after storm damage?
Keep people and animals clear of the damage, and stay well away from any power lines. If a tree has come down, see emergency tree work. Take photos for your insurer, then call us and describe what has happened.
07Who pays for a storm-damaged boundary fence?
Under the Fencing Act 1978, neighbours generally share the cost of an adequate boundary fence. If a fence is suddenly damaged and needs immediate work, either neighbour can do that work without notice and recover half the cost. This is general information, not legal advice: see the Act and our guide to who is responsible for a boundary fence.
08How much does emergency fencing cost?
It depends on how much is damaged, whether you need temporary make-safe fencing, a permanent repair or both, and how easy the site is to reach. Call us, describe the situation, and we'll explain the options and the cost before work starts.
09What areas do you cover?
We provide emergency fencing throughout the greater Waikato, including Hamilton, Cambridge and the surrounding districts.
