Regular maintenance of your traditional building helps preserve it’s character, keeps it wind and water tight and may prolong the life of vulnerable building fabric.
Roof defects, such as missing slates or failed lead flashings, can quickly turn into sources of water leaks, causing timber decay and internal damp.
Deterioration of the mortar pointing, which is sacrificial by design, is a particular problem which can result in accelerated stone decay and penetration of the wall by rainwater.
Repair
The repair and restoration of traditional buildings requires careful selection and use of appropriate building materials by competent workers who are trained and skilled in traditional building techniques.
We also understand that repair and restoration projects often require input from several contractors with different skills. For example, there may be a need to appoint a stonemason, roofing contractor. TMD are happy to work alongside other trades where necessary.
