Structural timber repairs, flat roofing, rafter and joist replacement — fixing the hidden problems before they become expensive disasters.
Structural problems don't always make themselves obvious. A sagging roof, a bouncy floor, or damp patches on an upstairs ceiling can all point to deeper issues with timber that's rotted, undersized, or simply past its life. The key is catching them early, before a small repair becomes a major project.
We've tackled everything from complete rafter replacements in Stratford-upon-Avon period properties to structural joist repairs in Evesham and flat roofing across Warwick and Leamington Spa. We don't just patch things up — we find the root cause and fix it properly.
Rotten joists, worn rafters, damaged roof timbers — we cut out the decay, splice in new timber, and make the structure sound again. This is particularly common in older properties in the Cotswolds where timber has been exposed to moisture for decades.
We install and repair flat roofing systems using modern membrane materials. Whether it's a garage, an extension, or a porch, we ensure proper falls, watertight detailing, and correct integration with the existing building fabric.
When roof timbers have failed — through rot, woodworm, or historical movement — we can replace individual rafters or full roof sections. We match existing profiles and work sympathetically with the original structure, particularly on listed and period buildings.
Squeaky or bouncy floors often mean joist problems. We lift flooring, assess the structure, and repair or reinforce joists as needed. In many cases we can strengthen existing floors without removing everything — keeping disruption to a minimum.
We handle all types of structural timber repairs including rotten joists, damaged rafters, decayed roof timbers, floor structure reinforcement, and timber splicing. We cut out the decayed timber, splice in new seasoned timber, and make the structure sound again. This is particularly common in older properties across the Cotswolds where timber has been exposed to moisture over many decades.
We assess the full extent of the damage first — rot is often more widespread than it appears. We then cut back to sound timber, treat the surrounding area for any residual moisture or woodworm issues, and splice in new timber using proper structural connections. In many cases we can strengthen existing timbers without removing everything, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Yes. We install and repair flat roofing systems using modern membrane materials such as EPDM and fibreglass (GRP). We work on garages, extensions, porches, and outbuildings, ensuring proper falls for drainage, watertight detailing at all junctions, and correct integration with the existing building fabric. All work is guaranteed against water ingress.
Many structural timber repairs will require building control approval or at minimum a structural engineer's calculation — particularly if you're removing load-bearing timbers, altering roof structures, or repairing significant areas of a floor or roof. We handle the process as part of the job, liaising with building control and providing the documentation they need.
