A damaged or unstable fence can quickly become a safety concern, particularly when it is positioned close to vehicles and pedestrian areas. At a property in Mosman, NSW, High Demand Restoration attended on an emergency basis after a timber fence was reported leaning into the parking area. The affected section had no support, with sections of timber also reported as broken. With the fence positioned beside the car park, it presented a potential risk to both parked vehicles and pedestrians using the surrounding area.

On attendance, our team assessed the affected fence and its condition. The fence was leaning over the parking area, making immediate make safe works necessary to address the potential risk to vehicles and pedestrians. The before photos show the extent of the issue, including the unsupported timber fence leaning directly beside the parking area.

Following the assessment, High Demand Restoration carried out emergency make safe works. A section of the affected fence was dismantled and removed to address the immediate concern. The removed fence materials were then taken from the property for disposal. This left the affected section of the parking area clear of the damaged fence.

The difference can be clearly seen in the before and after photos. Before the works, the damaged timber fence was leaning into the parking area close to vehicles. Following the make safe works, the affected section had been removed and the area cleared.

Situations involving damaged building elements near vehicles or pedestrian areas can require prompt attention. This Mosman job is a good example of how emergency make safe works can address an immediate concern by assessing the affected area and removing damaged materials where required.
