Timber Frame Repair across Kent
Timber Frame Repair around Kent is a different job from one street to the next. The housing here is largely weatherboarded Kentish cottages, oast conversions and coastal terraces, and that shapes what will actually fit. The weather does the rest: salt-laden easterly wind along the coast here, and coating breakdown on exposed elevations and corrosion of ironmongery as the predictable result. What you are paying for is splicing in new timber so the historic fabric is largely retained.
The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
Bear in mind for this area: coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Kent?
Yes. We cover the whole of Kent including Maidstone, Canterbury, Ashford, Dartford and the surrounding villages. Coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species. Because salt-laden easterly wind along the coast, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
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.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
