Timber repairs and restoration

Rotten wood repaired rather than replaced

Alton Woodworks specialises in repairing rotten and damaged timber for homes across Alton and the surrounding areas.

In many cases, timber features that appear beyond repair can be carefully rebuilt and restored, avoiding the cost and disruption of full replacement.

Typical work includes:

  • Rotten window sills and frames

  • Door frames and thresholds

  • Conservatory timber

  • Fascias, bargeboards, and external trims

  • External woodwork affected by weather

  • Worn or damaged timber details

Repair before replacement

Rotten timber does not always mean replacement. Where possible, damaged sections are removed, rebuilt, and finished to match the existing detail.

Care is taken to ensure the repair is solid, weather-resistant, and in keeping with the original style of the property.

This approach helps extend the life of existing woodwork while keeping costs sensible.
