The Rot Doctors difference - an example

As the leaders in rot management, sometimes this means we pick up on issues that others may miss.

Can you see the hidden damage?

Can you see the hidden damage?

The use of fillers in  manufactured joinery is a false economy as the fillers are porous and do not bond to the timber. With natural expansion and contraction a crack appears around the filler allowing moisture to penetrate around the area causing the rot to continue and because the filler often masks the problem when you realise what is going on its reached a critical stage, and you need to act immediately so give us a call for a free survey and we will assess what you need to do for the best protection because your biggest asset is worth protecting. 

The primary cause of timber decay is microscopic spores called mycelia which the water carries into the timber joints, these then multiply and feed from the nutrients in the timber causing it to decay. By using Repair Care as a preventative maintenance system will eliminate this problem before it even starts and will extend your maintenance cycles so you get more time between repaints.
