Timber Frame Repair across West Midlands
What makes Timber Frame Repair work in West Midlands is usually invisible once it is finished. Local property is overwhelmingly Victorian industrial terraces, interwar municipal estates and large commercial frontages, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. Because of urban heat retention with high particulate load, we see surface soiling accelerating coating failure on street-facing elevations more often here than in most of the country. Everything we do here comes back to 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. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
Bear in mind for this area: dense commercial stock means shopfront and contract joinery volumes are high.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover West Midlands?
Yes. We cover the whole of West Midlands including Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Solihull and the surrounding villages. Dense commercial stock means shopfront and contract joinery volumes are high. Because urban heat retention with high particulate load, 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 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.
