Need fencer recommendations - but no access to neighbour's garden

[crustwork222]

I'm thinking I can't be the only one with this issue.. A fence on one side of our garden has fallen over into our garden. The guy we've spoken to about fixing this has said he needs access into the neighbour's garden too in order to secure the posts and panels in. However, our neighbour simply won't engage to allow access - we've knocked dozens of times, left a note, etc. (We're happy to pay for it, we literally just need the access.) We moved into the property a year ago, and from speaking to the previous residents, they never had any contact with him either.

So we're a bit stuck. Has anyone ever used a fence company that was able to fix a fence without going into their neighbour's garden? Or have any ideas on how to resolve this?

Maybe he can do it using your garden for access, take a ladder, and when he's done it, use a ladder to get back?

You could ditch the post and panel system - and change to posts, arris rails and feather edge - giving yourself the 'good' side (which is the last part of the process, nailed on from your side of the garden).

They look nicer than posts and panels anyway IMO. Especially if you have to good side, which I wouldn't lose any sleep over taking, considering the circumstances.
