Repairs to a commercially built fence - Fence Repair Sleaford

One time of year that is painful for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance
company is January and February.

The winds in Lincolnshire wreck havoc on the fences, regardless of how well they are built. The water table is approx 18" down and the commercial fence erectors just have a JCB (Digger) with a back scoop scoop out a 4 ft hole, shove a 100mm x 100mm (4" x 4") post in there and pour in a bucket of concrete in the hole....Job done...

Now when they snap at ground level where they are constantly rotting due to the moisture and drying cycle breaking down and rotting the wood they become a nightmare to break out and replace. Not something for a shovel, hammer and chisel I can assure you (The types of fencing I am referring to are commonly seen at the top end of Quarrington (Sleaford) and the most of Greylees!!!!

To Remove 4 posts, 4 concrete balls the size of a small family car tool 2 of us 2 days to get done and that using pneumatic drills and Crow bars....

We still love the challenge though as usual and the customers were lovely, kind, thoughtful and let us get on with the job at hand.

Victorian Home Restoration Work - Sleaford, Tattershall, Lincolnshire

One of Handy Andy Ruskington's strengths is the partial or complete restoration of Victorian properties.



Our skillset of Woodwork, Bathroom Fitouts, Kitchen Fitouts, Plastering, Electrical, Plumbing and small building works gives us the edge to provide a complete package within the mature house workplace.

If you take the time to look through our varied projects showcased on our website you will find that we carry out a mix of modern installations and restoration on period / mature developments.



Fitting a kitchen or bathroom in a modern home is a job for a professional but doing so in an older home where it takes much more than a spirit level and a set square to make it fit requires a company who has worked the field extensively just as we have!



We work with our clients on a 121 basis and understand that many companies will insist on ripping everything back to bare bones prior to carrying out any new works. We however can work with you to retain the character of your home and enhance it where desired.



We can back up our claims with happy clients spanning almost a decade in the Lincolnshire area alone as we know that words come easy on a website!



All our work is carried out in house (The only exception being Gas installations that we have a hand picked, fully registered, installer at our disposal.) This is what keeps us constantly busy since our customers get to know and trust us in their homes.
