| Types of Timber that can be repaired | |
|
External - window frames, door frames, posts, timber frames, wall plates, rafter ends, purlin ends, facias and soffits. Internal - window frames, door frames, skirting boards, staircases, joists, carrier beams, bressumers, lintols, arches, rafters, tie beams, purlins, ridge beams, 'A' frames, trusses (King Post and Queen Post) and lath and plaster ceilings. Types of damage - splits, cracks, holes, end decay, mid span decay, excessive bending or deflection, decorative, fire, water, wet rot, dry rot and insect attack. A bad break in a rafter - caused by long term woodworm |  |
| Example | |
| The Log House, near Lymington - suffering from Wet Rot, treated with Boron Ultra 78 Paste by injection and Boron Rods, inserted into the same holes.

Splits and shakes - inject Thixotropic epoxy adhesive Holes and small voids - fill with Moulding Mortar Ends and Mid span gaps - fit a Timber-Resin Splice - made to measure - FREE ESTIMATE - 01626 331351 Bending/deflection - high tensile rebar in Structural Epoxy Grout Split in timber rafter at Sherbourne School |  |
| Example | |
| Sherbourne School - trusses injected with Thixotropic Epoxy Adhesive to 'make good' splits and shakes, after surface filling with Moulding Mortar, which can be sanded, shaped, stained and painted, just like wood, even though it is a fully structural epoxy material.

| How to treat Timber | |
|
1. Eliminate the source of moisture and protect against future ingress 2. Cut out the decay back to sound timber - test extent of softness with drilled holes 3. Repair described in 'How to Repair Wood Rot' above. 4. Inject with Boron Ultra Paste, surface treat with Boron Ultra Gel. Add Boron Ultra Rods of solid preservative for timbers likely to remain damp or subject to seasonal wetting (e.g. window frames, door posts, garden posts, wall plates).

| Example | |
| Railtrack Railway Sleepers - fitted with Boron Rods to areas where the Creosote treatment has begun to fail. Prevents failure and reduces future maintenance.

| How to prevent Timber damage | |
|
1. Protect structures from penetrating and rising dampness 2. Apply breathing protective coatings to external timbers - Vinabore 3. Treat vulnerable timbers with Boron Products - insert Boron Rods, inject Boron Paste, brush surfaces with Boron Gel and apply Ultra 12 Liquid by spray or brush for indoor use to floor and roof timbers.

| Example | |
| Wooden Statue, Leicester - a public park feature, the sculpture in Elm was suffering badly from wet rot. Repaired with Moulding Mortar and treated with Boron Ultra Gel, then surface coated with Vinabore repellent.

| Types of Laminated Beam repair | |
|
Delamination - inject the glue line with Thixotropic Epoxy Adhesive, with cartridge kit Holes and cavities - cut out to sound and fill with Moulding Mortar Splits and shakes - fill with Moulding Mortar, inject through with Thixotropic Epoxy Adhesive, fit Epoxy Glass Rods as connectors across splits bonded in with Thixotropic Epoxy Adhesive.

| Examples | |
| Canadian School Sports Halls - a perfect example of delamination, injected and fitted with epoxy glass rods HMS Raleigh C of E Chapel, Plymouth - wet rot damage to roof Glulam Beam - repaired with Moulding Mortar and Thixotropic Epoxy Adhesive.
