Bowled over by a timber repair at Leicester County Cricket Club
June 17, 2010
When an out break of wet rot was identified on a beam end following a leaky roof at Leicester County Cricket Club the Timberwise team were on hand to help out with our timber resin repair system. Timberwise were asked to pull together a specification for the repairing of the damaged timber in the most sympathetic way possible. As our company name suggest we are experts in timber care and as such came up with an ideal timber repair solution!
Our timber repair specification involved cutting back of the rotten end of the timber. Slots were then formed in the existing beam end to accept steel reinforcement bars that are pre-attached to the new beam end. A “shutter” was then formed and resin injected. Finally the timber repair was sanded down and all the brick work and plaster made good. The pictures below show step by step how this method of timber repair was done. Simply click on an image and the photo will enlarge.
