Delaying of the renewal of the exterior protective coating will highly affect the surface condition and increase the costs of repairing and repainting expansionally.

A house that was not painted for 10-15 years in a BAD condition will have to be repainted every 3 to 4 years to keep the timber from deteriorating even more.

Don't delay !

Timber rot is damage that will deteriorate even further at an alarming rate.

It is a type of decay caused by a combination of fungi and moisture leaking trough cracks of old or worn paint. It can lead to serious structural damage and costly repairs. Neglecting timber rot will cause further damage and reduce the value of your property.

The number one rule in preventing wood from rotting is to control moisture. This can be done by regular maintenance such as cleaning regularly and repainting every 6 to 8  years.

Our timber rot repair service focuses on replacing any affected timber with new treated timber.

We repair Claddings, sashes, sills, doors, barge boards, soffit's and fascia's

Structural damage to wall, floors and roofs.

Surfaces less than 60˚ to the horizontal will have a 50% reduced life expectancy compared to the stated life expectancies above

Extreme marine environments, adhesion failure of previous coatings, dark colours, substrate damage or use of solventborne products will result in reduced life expectancies.

Darker colors on timber will  have a shorter lifespan .Lighter colors can reflect rays more efficiently and therefore last longer.
