Timber Repairs

Timber Repairs in Melbourne

Timber can be used in a number of ways. It can be used as a secondary material for external cladding, or as internal lining to give walls character. Timber can also be used as part of the structure of a house, and that’s where we come in. At Absolute Home Improvements, we specialise in timber repairs.

Timber is great, it adds style, warmth and character to any area of your home. However, timber is also susceptible to decay so it is important that you regularly check your timber for damage and repair it if it needs doing. The longer you leave damage unattended the more likely you are to get further damage which will ultimately lead to costly repairs later on down the track.

At Absolute Home Improvements we specialise in timber repairs, so if you’re experiencing any kind of damage then call us today.

Types of Timber Repairs

There are two main types of timber repairs: wood preservation and wood protection.
Wood preservation involves the use of chemicals to treat the wood, while wood protection involves the use of an impermeable coating to prevent water from getting into the wood. Both can stop further damage to your timber, but they should not be confused with fixing the damage that has already occurred. These should be used to protect the timbers from future damage.

Common reasons for timber repair:

  • Roof Structure has shifted and weakened over time
  • Roof is wet or leaking in multiple places
  • Damage from Storms (wind, hail, etc)

  • Sterling Engineered Systems (SES)
  • Tapered Sawn Beams (TSB)
  • Continuous Lumber Beams (CLB)
