Our Approach
Timber Rot Eradication
Our highly skilled tradesmen can identify, treat and eradicate timber rot – both wet rot and dry rot. We identify and eliminate moisture sources or water ingress, promote drying or remove problem areas. Using effective, long-lasting solutions, we then treat the remaining timber and replace lost elements.
Lintel and Mullion Repair or Replacement
We restore structural integrity around windows, repairing or replacing lintels and mullions. We identify the cause of problems, both internally and externally, and install reinforcements or replace elements entirely. Our works restore load-bearing strength without compromising a building’s character and original appearance.
Concrete Repairs
We diagnose and repair damaged or deteriorated concrete and cement. Working on commercial buildings and post-1930s properties, we can deliver patch repairs, structural strengthening and protective coatings. We use trusted solutions and products from technologists like SIKA, Fosroc and WATCO.
Professional, Minimally Disruptive Delivery
Where works are needed on occupied buildings, live sites, or structurally unsafe buildings, we plan works carefully to minimise disruption, restore load-bearing strength, and prevent further deterioration.
