A familiar site is to come across badly rotting timbers in an old barn, no longer providing the support the structure requires. Whilst keeping as much of the original timber as possible, our job is primarily to ensure the building is made safe and structurally sound. We cut away the worst of the rotten timber, and craft new pieces of oak to slot in and replace what has been removed.
The gable end of this Grade II timber framed house was in a desperate state of disrepair when our clients bought it. Commissioned to make essential repairs, with the appropriate permissions in place, we set about replacing the decayed wood with new solid oak timbers.
A rather good example of what this unique round tree bench looked like before, during and after restoration. Plenty of life in her still...
Ensuring this little dovecote provides a happy home for its residents many more years with a full restoration.
