Major works restoring the georgian front door porch

As you can see this Georgian porch is in a dreadful state , this right hand gallows bracket is rotten to the core and all the decorative mouldings will have to be hand made as well as reproducing the rotten carved sections , and the other side of the porch is not much better.



Here are a few views of the major repairs taking place step by step



A huge wasps nest inside the porch , luckily it was empty.



Starting to dig out the rot its not looking good.

A really rotten gallows bracket in Cheshire

It was so rotten in the end we had to remove the bracket to get at all the rot

Repair care resin

The repair begins , firstly we hand formed the three curves and then blend in with repair care epoxy resin

 

 

This is a huge hole through the top of the gallows bracket before and after

To be continued.
