Timber Window Repairs and Door Repairs
Timber windows and doors, while beautiful and durable, inevitably require repairs over time. Exposure to the elements, daily wear and tear, and even accidental damage can lead to issues like rot, drafts, sticking, and broken hardware.
Addressing these problems promptly is crucial to preserving the integrity and longevity of your timber features. Ignoring minor issues can quickly escalate into more costly and extensive repairs down the line.
Effective timber window and door repairs involve a variety of techniques, from patching small areas of rot with epoxy resin to replacing entire sections of damaged wood. Proper sanding, sealing, and painting are essential for ensuring a seamless and weather-resistant finish.
Repairing rather than replacing can often be a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly option, preserving the original character and charm of your home while restoring functionality and security.
We specializing in timber restoration can assess the damage and recommend the most appropriate repair solutions for your specific needs.
Fascia Repairs
Fascia repairs are a common necessity for homeowners, as this crucial trim component is constantly exposed to the elements.
Damaged fascia can lead to a host of problems, including water damage to the roof and interior walls, pest infestations, and a compromised structural integrity.
Identifying issues early, such as peeling paint, rot, or visible cracks, is key to preventing more extensive and costly repairs down the line.
Whether it's a simple patch job or a complete replacement, addressing fascia damage promptly will protect your home's value and longevity.
Deck Repairs
Timber decks, while beautiful and functional outdoor spaces, are susceptible to wear and tear from the elements and regular use.
Common issues include splintering boards, loose railings, rotting wood, and popped-up nails or screws. Addressing these problems promptly is crucial, not only for aesthetic reasons but also for safety. Ignoring minor damage can lead to more extensive and costly repairs down the line.
The repair process often begins with a thorough inspection to identify all areas that require attention.
This involves checking each board for rot, decay, and insect damage, as well as assessing the stability of the railings, stairs, and underlying support structure. Depending on the severity of the damage, repairs might involve replacing individual boards or sections, reinforcing weak points, and re-securing loose components.
Choosing the right materials for the repair is essential for ensuring the longevity of the deck. Using pressure-treated lumber for replacements, along with rust-resistant hardware, will help protect against future damage.
Finally, proper sealing and staining after repairs can further enhance the deck's durability and maintain its appearance, extending the life of your outdoor living space.

Deck Oiling and Painting
Fixed Price Deck Oiling for $100 + GST per m²
Price includes
Prep, Acid wash and 1 coat of oil
Deck oiling and painting are two common methods for protecting and enhancing the appearance of wooden decks.
Oiling involves penetrating the wood fibers with specialized oils, nourishing the wood, highlighting its natural grain, and providing a water-repellent barrier. This method typically results in a more natural look and easier reapplication, as future coats can usually be applied without extensive prep work.
Painting, on the other hand, creates a solid, opaque layer that completely covers the wood's grain and color. This offers a wider range of color choices and potentially longer-lasting protection against the elements, but requires more thorough preparation, including priming, and can be prone to peeling and cracking if not applied correctly.
The choice between oiling and painting depends on the desired aesthetic, the level of maintenance one is willing to undertake, and the specific environmental conditions the deck will face.
We specialize in deck oiling and painting and can assess your deck and suggest the appropriate application.
Glass Replacement / Double Glazing
Glass replacement is a common home maintenance task, ranging from fixing cracked window panes to replacing entire glass doors.
The process often begins with assessing the damage and determining the best course of action: partial or full replacement.
Choosing the right type of glass is crucial, considering factors like energy efficiency, safety features (like tempered, laminated or double glazing glass), and aesthetic appeal.
Proper installation is key to ensuring a secure, watertight seal and maximizing the lifespan of the new glass, so it's often best left to professionals who have the experience and tools necessary to do the job correctly.
Kanga Work
Kanga Work refers to a specific line of mini loaders and compact construction equipment manufactured by Kanga Loaders Australia.
These machines are known for their versatility and ability to operate in tight spaces, making them ideal for a wide range of applications including landscaping, construction, demolition, and agriculture.
Call us to discuss your specific needs and if a Kanga would be suitable to assist in the process.
Dustless Blasting Work
Dustless blasting, also known as wet abrasive blasting, is a surface preparation technique that mixes water and abrasive media within the blast stream. This is used to remove surface contaminants and coatings, creating a clean surface with minimal dust.
This innovative method significantly reduces dust emissions compared to traditional dry sandblasting, making it a safer and more environmentally friendly option.
The water encapsulates the abrasive particles, increasing their mass and effectively suppressing dust clouds.
This results in improved visibility for the operator, increased safety for workers and bystanders, and less cleanup required after the job is complete. Furthermore, the water helps to cool the surface being blasted, minimizing warping and distortion, especially on thin metal.
it is effective at removing coatings, rust, grime and other contaminants from various surfaces, including metal, wood, concrete, stone and brick, leaving a clean, paint-ready surface.
We can dustless blast just about anything! Contact us to discuss your specific item that needs its surface coating removed.
Weatherboards and Cladding Repairs
Weatherboards and cladding form the protective skin of a building, shielding it from the elements and contributing significantly to its aesthetic appeal. However, constant exposure to rain, sun, wind, and temperature fluctuations inevitably leads to wear and tear.
Common issues include cracked, warped, or rotten wood, damaged or dislodged panels, and faded or peeling paint.
Prompt weatherboard and cladding repairs are crucial for preventing water damage, pest infestations, and structural issues that can compromise the building's integrity and value.
Addressing these problems quickly not only restores the appearance of the property but also ensures its long-term durability and weather resistance.
Timber Profile Machining & CNC Machining
Timber profile machining is a subtractive manufacturing process that shapes wood into desired forms by removing material using specialized cutting tools.
This process is crucial in creating intricate designs, consistent dimensions, and smooth finishes for a wide range of applications, from decorative moldings and furniture components to structural elements and window frames.
Modern techniques often employ CNC routers and milling machines, offering precise control over the cutting path and allowing for complex profiles with sharp corners and delicate details.
Careful consideration of wood species, grain direction, and tool selection is vital to minimize tear-out, ensure clean cuts, and achieve the desired aesthetic and functional properties of the final product
Termite and Borer Repairs
Termite and borer infestations can wreak havoc on the structural integrity of a building, necessitating prompt and professional repairs.
These pests silently devour wood from the inside out, often leaving little visible indication of their presence until significant damage has occurred. Termite and borer repairs typically involve a multi-stage process, starting with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the infestation and damage.
This is followed by the elimination of the pests through targeted treatments, often involving chemical applications or physical barriers.
Finally, damaged wood must be repaired or replaced, ensuring the structural soundness and longevity of the building.
