David Moore started the Company in 1997 having spent over 20 years in the Damp Proofing and Timber Preserving Industry, both as a Contractor and as Sales Development Manager for a National Chemical Formulator.

He decided to form the business after having been made redundant and after an abortive attempt to sell 'solid' Resin Repairs to an unreceptive public. The high cost of epoxy Resin effectively reduces the number of such 'solid' repairs to a handful each year (not enough to live on as a commission only Sales Agent) and the appearance of the final job usually dissuades the majority of Clients and Heritage bodies from using this excellent, but expensive technique.

Whilst sitting in a Welsh pub contemplating this phenomenon David suddenly had a Eureka moment - why not replace most of the resin with wood - and thus, over a pint, the 'Timber-Resin Splice ' was born. The new concept - pre-manufacture a new piece of wood to exactly replace the missing part, fitted with bars or slots ready for connection and supply the whole thing as a 'kit'. Now any Contractor can repair any beam or joists in timber to exceed the original strength, and offer a truly neat, cosmetic finish.

The business today manufactures all the 'Timber-Resin Splice' kits for the UK, some several thousand being produced per annum. The product holds a current UK Patent.

To complement this manufacturing activity David had a special range of Boron-based preservative produced to his specification, drawing on many years of successfully marketing Boracols and other Borate-Glycols.

Resins to repair splits and shakes in timber, cracks and voids in masonry and to treat external masonry and timber naturally followed.

A complete Design service was also developed, using fast, Computer-based packages, which gives the Clients instant access to Structural Engineering Calculations, Designs and Method Statements. Estimates are instant - we'll even give you guidance on the number of man-hours required to install the 'TRS Kit'.

David is supported by his wife, and business Partner, Kathy, together with Angela, his sales colleague of some 20 years, who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to sales, manufacturing and customer service.

No beam repair is too large or too small for this team.
