Timber Frame Repair for Saffron Walden properties
Timber Frame Repair is one of those jobs in Saffron Walden where the survey decides everything. With estuary bungalows, 1930s ribbon development and timber-framed village stock making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. the driest climate in the UK with sharp summer heat is the local complication, and shrinkage cracking and glazing bead failure from repeated drying cycles is what it eventually causes. The value is in splicing in new timber so the historic fabric is largely retained, not in the timber bill.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
One thing that catches people out here: low rainfall shifts the risk from rot toward movement and seal failure.
