Pay attention to the details. 🚫
We were asked to repair this lean-to porch in Kilmarnock after costly mistakes had caused rot at the foot of the supporting post.
The wrong material had been used and fitted incorrectly, leaving the post exposed to water. The timber copings also had a short lifespan in Scottish weather.
To put it right, we:
✅ Replaced the posts with the correct treated timber
✅ Fitted post feet to lift the timber away from standing water
✅ Installed stone copings for a longer-lasting finish
Michael helped me on this one, and we managed to carry out the repair without causing any further damage to the porch, keeping the cost as low as possible.
