In heritage buildings and conservation, retaining sound original timber where possible is essential regardless of which treatment method you use. Treating a building with conservation in mind involves understanding the historic construction of a property, including the methods and materials originally used. Repairs are then conducted in line with these methods, ensuring the preservation of as much original material as possible.
Ideal treatments also diagnose the specific moisture source behind a dry rot outbreak, ensuring that any defects are repaired alongside the rotten timbers. This helps prevent recurrence once treatment has been completed.
