Stratford on Avon, Timber Frame Wall Sole Plate - eaten away by a combination of Wet Rot and Death Watch Beetle. Replaced in situ, without disturbing the walls, by installing new, treated oak facing boards, with Structural Epoxy Pouring Grout behind to form new, composite beam. This is hugely strong and impervious to moisture.

1. Cut out the decayed timber

2. Fit a made to measure 'Timber-Resin Splice' unit.

3. Treat the parent timber with Boron Ultra Paste - £15.50/400cc, surface treat with Boron Ultra Gel.. Add Boron Ultra Rods of solid preservative for timbers likely to remain damp or subject to seasonal wetting (e.g. window frames, door posts, garden posts, wall plates)

Woodworm damaged Stair legs ready for re-connection to handrails

Swansea Church Clock Tower - the legs, made of Oak, had been eaten away by Wet Rot and Death Watch Beetle. New leg posts were manufactured, in seasoned Oak and fitted with Epoxy Coated High Tensile Steel Rebar to form TYPE D Timber-Resin Splice units. The parent timber was then slotted in-situ and the TRS units fitted, the resin being placed by injection through matching, permanent Oak 'shutters'. Boron Ultra 78 Paste and Boron Ultra Rods were then placed into pre-drilled holes in the parent legs, to prevent future decay.

Treating Timber - Curcumin test showing Boron penetration in a post

1. Cut out the decay

2. If a large, complex shape, form a frame using Epoxy Glass Bars (5mm diameter £3.00/metre) or Spirotie and bond them into the gap using fast setting Polyester Paste.

3. Place Mouldable Epoxy Putty into the void and hand form. When nearly set carve to shape with a wet pallette knife. When fully hardened sand to open up the grain and stain or paint to match.

4. Or you can use Timberbuild, for perfect forming into straight edges, curves and other shapes.

Mouldable Epoxy Mortar repair, prior to staining

Christow Church Bell Tower - the main ring beam in the bell tower was badly eaten out by Death Watch Beetle, Wet Rot and Common Furniture Beetle. It supports the first level platform, below the bells. This was repaired using oak boards, as permanent 'shutters' and Structural Epoxy Pouring resin.

Another example - Doddiscombeleigh Church Barrel Vault Ceiling - one of the moulded arches was badly eaten out by Death Watch Beetle. The mid span area was missing. Flexible Epoxy Glass rods were used to form a new frame for the shape and Moulding Mortar was hand placed and carved to form the complex shape. The final surfaces were sanded and stained to match the original timber.

WOOD PRESERVATIVE AND BIOCIDE SAFETY

Use Wood Preservatives and Biocides safely. Always read the label and product information Data Sheet before use.

Wear the correct safety equipment and keep unprotected people and animals out of the treated area for the statutory period given on the label, or until surfaces are dry, which ever is the longer.

All products have some hazards and the COSHH Regulations (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) apply to ALL building repair and construction products that we sell, even Cement.

If in doubt consult us for free technical help. Take care not to contaminate soil, waterways or the environment with the product or the waste and packaging. These can be returned to us for disposal.

Avoid using any type of chemical in your home if any of the following are likely to come into contact with the spray or treated surfaces: animals, fish, birds, babies, young children, asthmatics, pregnant women or those vulnerable due to ill health.

On-going European reclassification of Pesticides has resulted in our Borax product having to carry a warning label (for the first time since 1890) on all products used at over 5.5% BAE concentration. This label is a warning that if you eat the product and then became pregnant you might give birth to a slightly underweight baby, or suffer a slight reduction in the size of your testes. The tests, on rats, required them to eat the human equivalent of 18 level teaspoons full of Borate (DOT) per day for 2 years. We believe that you are unlikely to do this and the lack of any other negative evidence, despite the severely critical European Review process, suggests that this product is very safe indeed.

Woodworm treatment products do not need to even reach the 5% concentration level to be effective, so are not subject to any additional labelling, because of their unblemished safety record.

See our Technical section for more information.
