Timber Frame Repair across Wiltshire
Ask three firms about Timber Frame Repair in Wiltshire and you will get three different answers. Local property is overwhelmingly chalk-downland cob and thatch, Bath stone terraces and garrison housing, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. exposed downland wind with driving rain is the local complication, and wind-driven water forced past worn weatherseals is what it eventually causes. What we concentrate on is splicing in new timber so the historic fabric is largely retained.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
One local point to factor in: cob and thatch properties need breathable finishes rather than film-forming coatings.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Wiltshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Wiltshire including Swindon, Salisbury, Chippenham, Trowbridge and the surrounding villages. Cob and thatch properties need breathable finishes rather than film-forming coatings. Because exposed downland wind with driving rain, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
