I had the same and had to go to great expense to erect new fences on concrete foundations. As long as they haven't got a sett in your garden you can do it legally so the sooner the better.
I have seen the huge amount of damage they can cause not only to your garden but to the foundations of your house, also any waste pipes, drains and so on that you have on your property.

We had a badger problem a while back and asked the local authority what we could do to deter them. Best thing they said was to deprive them of their food source. What was that I said? Earthworms they replied.

My son had to sink metal rods about 2 metres all around the perimeter of his property to deal with his badger problem. Not cheap.

Should've leaned over the fence and put a plate piled high with worms on the neighbours' lawn. That'd distract them from your lawn.

we have put doubled chicken wire across gates and sunk it into ground ,totally spoils look of gates but we will see what happens

I used citronella spray which deterred mine. Nafoff from Amazon (can't do links)
Google keeping badgers out of garden and you will see that male urine also works. If there is a male in your family get him to mark his boundaries! Only male as it is a territorial thing.
