Timber Frame Repair across Cheshire
The hard part of Timber Frame Repair in Cheshire is not the making, it is the measuring. Local stock is dominated by black-and-white revival frontages, Georgian market towns and large modern detached stock, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. Locally you are contending with moderate rainfall with damp Mersey basin air, so joint opening and glazing failure on large-format modern units is the fault we are called out to. This is really a job about splicing in new timber so the historic fabric is largely retained.
Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening on site. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
A local consideration we always raise: high-value Cheshire stock frequently specifies engineered hardwood as standard.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Cheshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Cheshire including Chester, Warrington, Crewe, Macclesfield and the surrounding villages. High-value Cheshire stock frequently specifies engineered hardwood as standard. Because moderate rainfall with damp Mersey basin air, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
Do you take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
