Timber Frame Repair across Gloucestershire
Ask three firms about Timber Frame Repair in Gloucestershire and you will get three different answers. Property here runs to Cotswold stone with stone-mullion openings and Regency Cheltenham terraces, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. Set against high rainfall on the escarpment with valley frost pockets, most joinery here eventually shows decay where timber sits directly against saturated stone reveals. Our focus on this is splicing in new timber so the historic fabric is largely retained.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
A detail specific to this area: Cotswold planning policy is strict on window proportion and glazing bar width.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Gloucestershire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Gloucestershire including Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester and the surrounding villages. Cotswold planning policy is strict on window proportion and glazing bar width. Because high rainfall on the escarpment with valley frost pockets, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
