Fascias & decorative timber

The DDS approach

Careful preparation.
A properly finished repair.

Assess the timber
We inspect the damage, check the surrounding timber and consider the cause before recommending a repair.
Prepare the affected area
Unsound timber and failed material are removed. The area is prepared to suit the selected repair system.
Rebuild & shape
We use specialist timber repair products, including Repair Care and Super Finish systems where appropriate, to rebuild suitable damaged areas and restore the profile.
Finish & protect
Once ready, the repair is shaped, sanded and prepared for a suitable primer and coating system as specified for your job.

Repair or replace?

Honest advice
for your timber.

Where enough sound timber remains, a resin repair may avoid replacing the whole component and help retain existing details.

Every repair is assessed individually. Extensive decay, badly weakened timber or structural concerns may require replacement or further specialist assessment. We will explain the recommended approach before work starts.

Resin repairs are normally best suited to a painted finish. If you want a clear or natural finish, we will discuss the likely appearance before agreeing the work.

Experienced hands

Restoration backed
by trade experience.

Led by Lee Duroe, DDS brings over 31 years of decorating experience and has specialised in cabins since 2018. We can combine timber repairs with preparation, painting and ongoing maintenance for a complete agreed finish.

Cabin damage.
Restored appearance.

This DDS cabin restoration includes replacement of damaged timber sections. The photographs show exposed damage, removal, replacement timber fitted and the repainted appearance.
