Property Preservation
With many years of cumulative experience, Sterling Timber and Damp craftsmen offer you great advice and the practical solution for a wide range of building problems. In recent times, these skills have been called upon to remedy fungal contamination, damaging damp and deteriorating timbers in:

Free advice, accurate quotations and fast response
Through the policy of using only highly skilled, traditionally trained craftsmen, you know that when you ask a question, you will get a direct, honest and accurate answer. Every person involved has at least 15 years of post-qualification experience in their field, which is one of the reasons that Sterling Timber and Damp is entrusted with work on buildings that are truly irreplaceable.

One of the specialities is matching up original joints using timbers that are 2-300 years old. This is vital in ensuring that buildings from the 1600s onwards retain their true character and authenticity. This level of care applies equally to invisible timber used in frameworks to the highly visible timber of staircases, windows and doors.

To make sure the finish is perfect, timber is crafted polished and cleaned by hand.
