Woodwork repairs

Woodwork repairs Cumbria: repair don’t replace

Exterior woodwork comes under a lot of stress from wind, rain, UV, and temperature changes but it adds warmth and character to a property and is one of the most environmentally-friendly building materials. That’s why, here at Wilkinson Decorators, we advocate repair over replacement wherever possible.

Whatever the project size, we routinely check exterior woodwork for any damage and provide a full client report prior to painting. We can then implement the woodwork repair solutions to prime the wood ready for painting, preserving or varnishing.
