Timber Resin Repairs...
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.
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
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 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.

Crack
Stitching is used when a building starts to get vertical cracking, once the
cause of the crack has been determined as suitable crack stitching method
can be employed. Crack stitches are installed into the bed joints across the
cracks. The bed joints are cut out and then the helical bar is grouted in
place preventing any future movement.
Heli-Beaming
is used to create a structural beam, by installing long lengths of helibar
at a set spacing and using the existing masonry to create a beam. This
method is used where subsidence is a problem and can be used in conjunction
with under pinning.
