Timber shopfronts are especially vulnerable to moisture ingress, particularly at junctions, drip beads, and exposed end grain. In this case, a well-loved retail unit on Hebden Bridge High Street had developed clear signs of wet rot, including softened timber, peeling paint and visible decay along the upper shopfront sections and pilasters.
We were called in to assess the damage and carry out repairs that would restore the look of the frontage, ensure its structural integrity and keep it protected long-term. As always, we approached the job with a careful survey, accurate diagnosis, and a focus on durable, sympathetic restoration.
