Gate Repairs in Nerang

Our gate repairs service in Nerang

Common faults in older homes in Nerang

Older houses move, and the repair list reflects it: doors that drag as frames drop, cracked cornice and wall joints, gates that no longer latch because the post has rotted at ground level, and trim that has swollen in wet areas. We fix the cause rather than planing a door that will bind again next summer. The housing includes post-war and 1970s homes near the town centre, 1990s brick homes through the estates, and larger blocks toward Nerang-Murwillumbah Road. Renovation work ranges from full-home overhauls to storm and water damage reinstatement.

Sagging gates and post repairs

We check the post first: is it plumb, is it sound below ground, is the footing intact. Posts are re-plumbed or replaced with a new concrete footing, then the gate is squared and rehung so it swings and latches properly rather than being propped with extra hinges.

Pool gate repairs and compliance

Spring hinge replacement, magnetic latch alignment and post correction to restore self-closing and self-latching operation. Where the configuration itself will not pass a pool safety inspection, we scope what has to change instead of adjusting a gate that is going to fail anyway.

Hardware, driveway gates and new gates

Latches, drop bolts, centre stops and coastal-grade hinges, plus alignment on double driveway gates. Where a gate is past repair we build a new one in matching timber and height so it reads as part of the original fence.

Repair or replace your gate

If the frame is sound and only the post or hardware has failed, repairing keeps a gate that matches the fence at a fraction of replacement cost. Where the stiles have split and the joints have opened up, a new gate built to match is usually cheaper than chasing repairs. We give you the honest version at the inspection, including how many years the repair is likely to buy.

Rental and body corporate gates in Nerang

Gates on rentals and shared complexes take far more use, and a gate that will not lock is a security issue rather than a maintenance item. We provide photo-documented quotes for approval, arrange access through the agency or committee, and can standardise hardware across multiple gates so future repairs are quicker.
