  • Localised timber and woodwork repairs

  • Treatment of woodworm-affected timber where appropriate

Our Wood Treatment & Repair Process

From Assessment to Repair & Refinishing

Timber repairs start with understanding the condition of the wood and the cause of the damage. We assess the affected areas, remove or stabilise deteriorated material where required, carry out suitable repairs and prepare the surface for the appropriate protective or decorative finish.

Our typical process includes:

  1. Assessment — We inspect the timber for visible signs of wear, rot, woodworm activity, moisture damage or localised deterioration.

  2. Preparation — Damaged coatings and unstable material are removed, and the area is cleaned, sanded and prepared for repair or treatment.

  3. Treatment — Suitable timber treatments are applied where required for issues such as woodworm or biological deterioration.

  4. Repairs — Localised damage is repaired using appropriate fillers, repair systems or replacement timber where necessary.

  5. Finishing — The repaired timber is prepared for painting, staining, varnishing or another suitable protective finish.
