Many historic buildings, particularly timber-framed properties, suffer from some form of structural decay — whether from long-term damp, rot, insect activity, or poor repair work over the past century. At Maydencroft, we carry out sensitive structural repairs and timber restoration to stabilise and strengthen these buildings while preserving their historic fabric.

Our experienced team works with traditional techniques and materials to replace or reinforce structural timbers, beams, joists, sills, floors, and frames. We aim to repair rather than replace, retaining as much original material as possible and documenting all interventions for heritage integrity.

We often uncover issues during survey stages — especially in buildings that have been previously “patched up” with non-traditional methods. Whether you're dealing with widespread timber decay, sagging floors, compromised roof structures, or degraded joinery, we provide reliable and fully compliant solutions.

Typical services include:

• Structural inspections and condition assessments
• Timber frame repairs and conservation
• Replacement of rotten beams and joists
• Joinery repairs and heritage carpentry
• Floor levelling and reinforcement
• Steelwork design where needed, sympathetically integrated

Our skilled craftspeople and engineers work together to ensure structural safety while maintaining the character and spirit of each building — whether a Norman church or a thatched cottage.
