Timber Frame Repair across West Sussex
What makes Timber Frame Repair work in West Sussex is usually invisible once it is finished. Local property is overwhelmingly Sussex flint cottages, Regency seafront terraces and postwar new town housing, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. The weather does the rest: strong coastal exposure with salt spray inland of the shoreline here, and finish erosion on seaward elevations within a few years of coating as the predictable result. What we concentrate on is splicing in new timber so the historic fabric is largely retained.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
One thing that catches people out here: seafront properties need a shorter recoating cycle than inland equivalents.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover West Sussex?
Yes. We cover the whole of West Sussex including Crawley, Worthing, Horsham, Bognor Regis and the surrounding villages. Seafront properties need a shorter recoating cycle than inland equivalents. Because strong coastal exposure with salt spray inland of the shoreline, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
