Can i go in my neighbours garden to fix my fence?

If I know that I own the fence, can I jump over and fix it from their side if necessary without talking to them?

"I woukd ask them. if yiu jump over it coukd be classed as trespassing and if you break something it could cause you more issues. generally fences are maintained by both parties"
