Maclennan-LSE Structural Solutions specify and carry out many specialist timber resin repairs and upgrades.

We often work in conjunction with the on site engineer.

Timber Resin Engineering can be used to strengthen timber beams, replace decayed timber ends and join any timbers where traditional joinery or steel work is not possible.

A common installation is the up grade of beams that have to be retained but need to support a greater load than they are able to.

Maclennan-LSE offer a full design and installation service. Calculations can be provided for your engineer where required.

All work is carried out by fully qualified carpenters with experienced in all aspects of timber repairs

Maclennan-LSE guarantees timber resin installations for a period of 10 years.

Timber Resin can come in many forms but TRS (Timber Resin Splices) are the most commonly used, they can also come in several forms depending on the accessibility of the repair i.e. side slot, top slot etc..........
The repairs are relatively non-destructive and in most situations there is either no alternative or the alternative would be more costly and destructive.

Another common repair method used by Maclennan-LSE is the bower beam. These metal repair plates come in several sizes to suit the timber being repaired and the amount of timber that has been affected by decay.
Again they are less destructive and more cost effective than the alternate in most situations.
