Who We Are

Tackling Common Timber Frame Problems Head-On

Historic timber frames, even those that have stood for centuries, are vulnerable to specific problems. One of the most common issues we encounter is timber rot, often caused by persistent moisture or poor ventilation. We also deal with insect infestations, cracks, or general deterioration over time. Our team is skilled at identifying the root cause of these problems, not just patching over the symptoms. Whether it’s localised repairs to a single beam, replacing entire sections of decayed timbers, or addressing underlying damp problems, we have the expertise to bring your frame back to full health.

Using the Right Materials for Enduring Timber Work

The success of timber frame restoration hinges on using the right materials and techniques. For authentic repairs, we often use green oak or seasoned timber that closely matches the original timbers of your building. We understand the nuances of traditional construction, including the importance of breathable materials like lime mortar and lime render, which allow the building to 'breathe' naturally and manage moisture effectively. Our team combines these time-honoured materials with modern preservatives and reinforcement methods where appropriate, ensuring your repairs are not only historically accurate but also incredibly durable and long-lasting.
