Joining wood using epoxies and rods allows the repair of most timber beams to beyond their original strength. We supply the Designs and Method Statements free of charge for joining or repairing structural components, such as structural or multi part roof arches, bressumers, roof beams and carrier beams.
Smaller timbers can often be joined without the use of bars or dowels, using our Structural Epoxy Resins - Structural Epoxy Pouring Resin, Mouldable Epoxy Putty or Timberbuild.
