| Example | |
| Chudleigh, Manor House - the ancient timber lintol across the sitting room fireplace had been eaten out by a combination of Wet Rot and Insect Attack due to the one end being embedded in an earth retaining solid wall. The lintol was removed for repair, although this was not really necessary - it could have been repaired in-situ. Moulding Mortar was used to re-make the shape, to match the other end and when re-installed, the Moulding Mortar was sanded and artistically stained to replicate the patina of the original. Stain
Kits are available at £65. Go to Order Form now

Holes and small voids - fill with Moulding Mortar Large Voids - fill with Structural Pouring Grout Large Voids in bend or shear zones - fit rebar (BS4449 High Tensile, Epoxy Coated, ex stock in 12mm, 16mm, 20mm and 25mm diameters) across the void into sound timber each side, into slots cut into the top, side or base and then fill with Structural Pouring Grout Mixing a two pack epoxy pouring grout |  |
| Example | |
| Plymouth University, Admin Building - large voids in three bressumers (large, bay spanning lintols) had allowed crushing to occur and the two floors above (filled with Admin staff and computers) showed serious cracks in the walls of the bays. The voids were spanned with Rebar and then filled with Structural Pouring Grout.
