Historic and listed buildings
Historic and listed buildings timber is used in the repair, restoration and conservation of heritage structures, including timber-framed buildings, churches, manor houses, barns and other architecturally significant properties. It is applied to structural elements such as beams, joists and roof timbers, as well as to doors, windows, panelling and decorative joinery where replacement or repair must remain faithful to the original construction and materials.
This application requires timber that is compatible with traditional building methods, often using slow-grown, durable hardwoods that match existing fabric in both appearance and performance. Oak and Elm are the principal species used, valued for their exceptional longevity, strength and proven performance in historic construction over centuries. Fully dry Restoration-grade Oak is particularly important for matching existing aged timbers in conservation work. Pitch Pine is also significant in listed building work, especially for joinery and flooring, due to its stability and authenticity in Victorian and Georgian-era structures.
