Medieval timber frame buildings and roofs are testament to the enduring qualities of properly maintained timbers but all too often a cycle of poor maintenance exacerbated by even poorer, badly informed, repairs destroy not only their structural integrity but the vitally important craft record of our building's  vernacular construction. 

Poor maintenance leaves a wooden structure vulnerable to  water damage, fungal attack such as wet and dry rot, moulds and also insect infestation and damage. 

We undertake all works of timber preservation from fungicidal pressure treatment to replacement of physically damaged timbers.

How we can help to diagnose & protect:

  • Non-destructive investigation
  • Low-environmental impact solutions
  • Damp-proof membrane installation
  • Fungicidal pressure treatment
  • Moisture sensor systems
  • Protective Coatings

Example of sympathetic restoration repairs to the West turrets at the Royal Victoria Eye & Ear Hospital, Dublin, by Finns. The turrets' location offered new challenges for our craft carpenters due to their remote location with Finns also designing bespoke access to the site. Picture: Tim McAvoy/Finns.

How we can help rebuild:

  • Wooden floor renovation & restoration
  • Wainscoting & Paneling
  • Doors & architraves
  • Sash window restoration - repair, renovate or design-build
