What we do and how we do it
Timber Frame Repair in the UK is rarely a catalogue job. Local property is overwhelmingly a mix of period and modern stock, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. the full range of UK exposure conditions sets the pace of decay, and coating failure followed by rot at the joints is how it shows up first. This is really a job about splicing in new timber so the historic fabric is largely retained.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
A local consideration we always raise: specification should always be matched to local exposure.
Specification
- Engineered hardwood or slow-grown softwood, FSC certified
- Factory-applied microporous finish in any RAL or heritage colour
- Sealed units, slim-cavity units or single glazing with putty line
- Manufactured to survey dimensions, not to a stock size chart
- Delivered UK-wide with chain-of-custody paperwork
Replication, not approximation
Profiles copied from the surviving original, section by section.
Drawings for consent
Measured section drawings supplied to accompany a listed building application.
Conservation glazing
Slim-cavity units and genuine putty lines where the consent requires them.
Fabric retained where possible
We splice and repair before we replace, because the original is the point.

Frequently asked questions
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
