Your home or commercial building's timber frame is more than just a structural element; it's a piece of history, especially here in Wigan.

We’re here to help you protect that investment and that unique heritage.

Understanding Common Timber Frame Problems

Timber frames, while incredibly resilient, aren't immune to issues. We often see problems like rot, which moisture usually causes, especially in areas exposed to the elements or where drainage is poor. Pests can also cause significant damage to the timbers. Even minor cracks or shifts can lead to bigger structural issues if left unaddressed. Identifying these problems early is crucial to prevent further decay and more extensive repair work later. We regularly inspect historic buildings in Wigan and the surrounding areas, finding the root cause of these issues so we can tackle them head-on.

The Craft of Timber Restoration: Materials and Techniques

Restoring timber frames requires specific skills and the right materials. We often work with traditional lime mortars and plasters, which allow the building to breathe, unlike modern cement-based products that can trap moisture and cause further problems. Our team knows how to select the right timber for repairs, making sure it integrates seamlessly with the existing frame. This careful work and selection of appropriate materials ensure the repairs aren't just cosmetic but truly bring new life and strength back to your property. We pride ourselves on the attention to detail required for this specialist work.
