Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my timber needs rot repair or splicing?
Look out for soft, crumbling wood, discolouration, or areas where paint bubbles or peels. If you notice any of these signs on your timber frames or structures, Copycats can assess the damage and recommend rot repair or timber splicing to restore strength and appearance.
Is timber splicing better than replacing the whole piece?
Timber splicing targets only the damaged sections, preserving as much original material as possible. This approach is less invasive, often more cost-effective, and helps retain the character of your woodwork. Copycats uses splicing to extend the life of your timber while maintaining its authentic look.
How long does a typical rot repair take?
The duration depends on the extent of the damage and the size of the area needing repair. Generally, projects in Edenbridge or surrounding towns take between one and three days. Copycats aims to complete work efficiently while ensuring quality and durability.
