What is dry rot?
Dry rot is a type of fungal decay that can affect wood in buildings and other structures. It occurs when certain types of fungi feed on the wood, causing it to become brittle and crumble easily. This can lead to structural damage and compromise the integrity of the affected area. What is wet rot? Wet rot is a type of fungal decay that affects wood when it is consistently exposed to moisture. Wet rot specifically develops in wood with high levels of moisture content. The fungi responsible for wet rot break down the structure of the wood, causing it to lose strength and integrity. What types of materials do you specialize in repairing? We offer repair services for a diverse array of woodwork, including windows, window frames, window sills, doors, door frames, doorsteps, staircases, weatherboards, facias, rails, gates, pergolas, posts, trims, beams, porches, and more.

We then remove the rotted parts, treat the affected area, and, finally, prime and paint it with the closest matching colour for a seamless finish. How ‘green’ are Repair Care Products?

Can you do repairs in the bad weather? To achieve the best results, our repairs are carried out during dry weather conditions. Do you have to remove all the rot? Yes, all decay must be removed prior to application for the system to work properly. The moisture content of the remaining wood must be below 18%. What is the average cost of a repair? The cost of repairs is notably more economical compared to a full replacement. The precise cost is influenced by various factors, such as the extent of the damage and the necessary materials. How soon can you paint the repair? As soon as the repaired area is fully cured, it can be sanded and then painted or stained. The exact curing time depends on the size of repair, application temperature and humidity. Is all type of timber repairable? Yes, all types of timber are repairable. Can it be used on cedar-stained windows? Yes, we tint the resin with wood stain to ensure it closely matches the color of the timber. Will the rot come back?
