Why Choose Us?

Uncovering Common Problems in Historic Timber Structures

Timber frame buildings, while incredibly durable, are not immune to problems. The most common culprit is moisture. Whether it’s from roof leaks, poor drainage, or rising damp, persistent damp conditions often lead to timber rot. This decay can weaken the frame and, if left unchecked, cause significant structural issues. We also see problems like insect infestations, often linked to damp timber, and natural movement in the building over time, leading to cracks or misalignments. Identifying these problems early is crucial. Our team has the eye to spot subtle warning signs and diagnose the root cause, helping you avoid more extensive and costly repairs down the line.

Who We Are

Our Meticulous Timber Frame Repair Process in Shaw

When you entrust your timber frame to us, we begin with a thorough, hands-on assessment. We don't just look at the surface; we delve deep to understand the full extent of any damage. This initial inspection allows us to pinpoint areas of rot or weakness. Next, we carefully plan the repair work. For damaged timbers, we might use traditional splicing techniques, replacing only the affected sections with new, carefully selected timber that matches the original. In some cases, an entire new timber frame section might be required. We often employ natural, breathable materials like lime mortar for pointing and rendering, which are crucial for the long-term health of old buildings, allowing the structure to 'breathe' and manage moisture effectively. Our work focuses on both structural integrity and preserving the original character of your property.
