An age old problem with Timber Frame Construction and Brick Infil Pannels would be a debonding action between The Lime Mortar and the Timber Framing. This could be a weak point that would allow water ingress. We fixed off expanding mesh to all elevations where brick meets timber. A case of new meets old. This introduction could increase the bonding between the two materials and prevent water ingress. Another modern twist was to apply a coat of Clear Sealer to the face of the Brickwork and run a bead of silicon between the Timber and Brickwork. We was satisfied the works were supertight.

In the photos below, you will see the Bulge that the Planning Officer insisted could be ‘made good’ with a repair!
