Expertise
A full understanding of Timber Framing is very important in order to asses these buildings and see where any potential issues may lie. Timber buildings suffer very badly from inappropriate repairs and the use of the incorrect materials and any problems should be ascertained PRE Purchase.
We have the expertise to properly evaluate a Frame and review its condition relative to other buildings of a similar age and type. We can advise on defects and if there is a problem, we know how to deal with them.
A section of badly decayed frames is included at the bottom of this page. Make sure you know the condition of a timber frame before buying it.

The History of a Cross Wing Hall House
We advise on the history and development of the house as part of the Timber Frame Survey; Here we see the development of a 1450’s Hall House. We use old Tithe Maps, Historical Information and our extensive Knowledge of Timber Frames to advise on the development. We can also accurately date buildings.
We investigate maps, like the 1700’s Tithe Map below. We then draw out plans to show the development of the Building. This enables us to understand the development of the building
