Back at Bridlington on this heritage building restoration, and what started as a routine gutter repair quickly turned into a major structural timber repair.Once the gutter was stripped out, we uncovered extensive rot to the wall plate, rafter ends, and hidden decay inside a principal roof truss. Timber that appeared sound externally was completely rotten internally – a common issue in historic and heritage properties where water ingress has gone unnoticed for decades.

"SHOCKING" Roof Timbers ROTTEN | Rebuilding Lead Lined Gutter on Bridlington Historic Shop
We’re back on site at Nantwich, for a major historic building repair as we begin essential structural timber frame works ahead of the Christmas shutdown. Prat 1; https://youtu.be/tRCoIolLDB4 In this video, we install extensive temporary propping and structural support using RMD props and steel beams, allowing us to safely remove sections of roof, ceilings, stud walls, cob infill, and internal partitions. With the building fully supported, we start exposing the original traditional timber frame, including wall plates, tie beams, posts, and historic joints.This phase of the project focuses on:Structural propping and load transferControlled jacking to take weight off the wall plateRemoval of cob walls and timber infill panelsInvestigation of historic timber joints and old splicesIdentifying beetle infestation and moisture-related timber decayPreparation for new green oak posts and tie beamsTraditional timber framing techniques for conservation workMaking new infill frames ready for lime cork and lime renderDue to the scale of the work, we’re carefully sequencing tasks to ensure the building is left weather-tight and protected over the Christmas break. Rendering will follow in the new year once the new oak elements are installed.This project highlights the complexity of heritage building conservation, listed building repair, and traditional construction methods, combining modern temporary works with historic materials and craftsmanship.If you’re interested in timber frame restoration, structural repairs, cob buildings, oak framing, or heritage construction, this video gives a detailed look at how these buildings are safely opened up and repaired.Thanks for watching — and fair play to everyone who spotted the location clues in the last video.Share this Video with friends and family: https://youtu.be/0b0Z3F2TGdc Join our Channel - You can subscribe to our channel below. http://www.youtube.com/user/UKRestorationServices?sub_confirmation=1UK Restoration Services Playlist's Carpentry & Joinery: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kl7NjslizGYzEAg6DHSTR5y Lime Work: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_klwopXzJnEOCkI2VxsrHWIG Roofing: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kkCH8gTps-w3Lisd5V6520k Structural Repairs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_knSGKjiQYGqTd0uGc_SLHj6 Restoration How-To's: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kmUndOU26Hz8b97Ewa5zs6V The Farm: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_klq9DF6zWr93-znH7nXoN2t Plant & Equipment: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kn_wU_5d5m3FsHiQSUJ9oz0Website & Contact Website - https://www.restoration-services.uk.com Email - media@restoration-services.uk.com #TimberFrame #HistoricBuilding #BuildingConservation #StructuralRepairs #HeritageRestoration #OakFraming #TraditionalBuilding #CobBuilding #ListedBuilding #ConstructionVlog #StructuralEngineering #TemporaryWorks #RMDProps #GreenOak #TimberRepair #HeritageConstruction #OldBuildings #TraditionalCraft #BuildingRestoration #UKConstruction
Taking the Weight Off the Roof | Major Timber Frame Structural Repairs & Restoration Underway
Restoration week back in Bridlington, and this job has thrown everything at us — from wet blasting media blocking the pot, to water-logged filters, terrible water pressure, and even the electricity being cut off because a previous tenant was growing weed in the basement.Part 1 https://youtu.be/oegV0EEMeJQ?si=HU3UeDrYhP7IEXtD Part 2: https://youtu.be/fWBkJs5vArY?si=bxPc8pD5zYQ3NQgG Part 3: https://youtu.be/rwTob_VD5zY?si=el8yZhHS79js8CskBut after days of troubleshooting, experimenting with different media, adding extra water separators, draining filters every bag, and changing techniques, we finally cracked the problem and got the blasting machine running perfectly.In this video I break down: 👉 Why the original media behaved like flour and kept clogging 👉 How moisture in the lines and pot caused constant problems 👉 The setup changes that finally fixed everything 👉 Cleaning decades of carbon, dirt and yellow staining off the stone 👉 Prepping the woodwork for linseed oil paint 👉 Scaffold updates, pointing work, repairs & the final push before Christmas 👉 Local problems: no gas, low water pressure, and surprise archive photos of the original shopfrontMassive thank you to Mike for digging up the original 100+ year old photographs of the building — incredible research!We’re nearly there with this restoration. Next week: pointing, repairs, and hopefully getting the scaffold down before Christmas.New restoration videos every Wednesday & Sunday.

Join us on this major historic building restoration as we uncover severe structural failures inside a centuries-old oak timber frame property. This video documents the full inspection of rotten beams, collapsed wall plates, failed corbels, damaged trusses, and the dangerous structural movement that has occurred over time.When we opened up the building earlier in the year, we found extensive hidden damage behind the original Wattle & Daub panels, including decayed posts, twisted tie beams, wet rot, insect damage, and historic repairs carried out with cement, concrete block, and modern fillers. After months of delays securing listed building consent, conservation approvals and structural engineering sign-off, we are finally able to begin the first stage of stabilisation.In this walkthrough you’ll see: • Timber frame decay including rotten truss ends, collapsed wall plates and failing corbels • Original Wattle & Daub infill and how we’ll save and reuse the historic clay • Jetty structure movement, outward rotation, and load transfer problems • Gutter failures causing long-term water ingress and oak frame deterioration • Incorrect cement repairs, brick infills and bodged timbers that made things worse • Our plan for structural propping, using RMD props, steel beams and Acro support • Preparations for timber splicing, new oak beams, new corbels and frame rebuilding • How traditional buildings handle movement and why they’re still standingThis is a multi-month project involving: ✔ Traditional timber frame carpentry ✔ Oak beam replacement & joinery ✔ Heritage restoration techniques ✔ Structural stabilisation & propping ✔ Conservation-approved methods ✔ Listed building repair planning ✔ Preservation of historic materials ✔ Lime work & Wattle and Daub reinstatementIf you’re interested in structural timber repairs, heritage carpentry, conservation work, building pathology, traditional oak framing, lime-based building materials, or restoring listed buildings, this entire series will be packed with technical detail and hands-on craftsmanship.Make sure to subscribe to follow every stage of this restoration — from propping, lifting and stabilising, through to splicing new beams, rebuilding the timber frame, reinstating Wattle & Daub, and bringing this incredible building back to life.Share this Video with friends and family: https://youtu.be/tRCoIolLDB4 Join our Channel - You can subscribe to our channel below. http://www.youtube.com/user/UKRestorationServices?sub_confirmation=1UK Restoration Services Playlist's Carpentry & Joinery: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kl7NjslizGYzEAg6DHSTR5y Lime Work: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_klwopXzJnEOCkI2VxsrHWIG Roofing: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kkCH8gTps-w3Lisd5V6520k Structural Repairs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_knSGKjiQYGqTd0uGc_SLHj6 Restoration How-To's: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kmUndOU26Hz8b97Ewa5zs6V The Farm: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_klq9DF6zWr93-znH7nXoN2t Plant & Equipment: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kn_wU_5d5m3FsHiQSUJ9oz0Website & Contact Website - https://www.restoration-services.uk.com Email - media@restoration-services.uk.com #HistoricRestoration #TimberFrameRepair #ListedBuilding #HeritageCarpentry #WattleAndDaub #OakFrameRestoration #BuildingConservation #StructuralRepair #TraditionalCraftsmanship #OldBuildingRescue #TimberFrameRot #HeritageRestoration #ConservationWork #StructuralEngineering #SavingHistory
MAJOR Structural Rescue Begins! Rotten Truss, Collapsed Jetty & Failing Oak Frame Exposed
In today’s video I dive into a full teardown of our blasting pot after it completely failed on us at Bridlington last week. What should have been a quick Sunday check-up turned into a full workshop repair session — oversized 60-65mm spanners, 8 miles of PTFE tape, moisture problems, blocked lines, vibrating pistons, and even a mystery loose part buried inside the pot.Before that, it’s been a busy day on the farm sorting the cows and scanning them, and by the time I finally got into the workshop it was already 3PM… and I still hadn’t had breakfast! But this machine needs to be working for Monday, so it’s time to strip it down, find the fault, and get it rebuilt.You’ll see everything from pulling the pot apart, inspecting seals, checking air pistons, clearing blockages, and diagnosing what actually caused the problem. I also show how we deal with moisture in the blasting media, why the air vibrator might be compacting the dolomite, and the trick I’m using to warm the media up with the compressor heat.Plus — a look at the massive oak timber sections we’ve just had delivered. Biggest pieces we’ve ever had in the yard! We’ve got a huge project starting soon and I’ll be filming that as well.Whether you’re into farm life, machinery fixes, workshop repairs, blasting equipment, tools, or behind-the-scenes vlogs, this video is packed full of real-world problem solving.⭐ In This Video:Full teardown of the blasting unitFinding the source of the blockageWhy the air vibrator may be causing issuesFixing seals, valves, springs & the air pistonMoisture problems with media & how I dry itWorkshop tips, mistakes & real-world fixesA look at the giant oak timber for a new projectReal farm life — cows, kids, long days & no food!🔧 Gear / Tech Mentioned:55mm, 58mm, 60mm & 65mm spannersPTFE tape (lots of it)Dolomite blasting mediaAir piston & valve assemblyAir compressor heat-drying trickShare this Video with friends and family: https://youtu.be/rwTob_VD5zY Join our Channel - You can subscribe to our channel below. http://www.youtube.com/user/UKRestorationServices?sub_confirmation=1UK Restoration Services Playlist's Carpentry & Joinery: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kl7NjslizGYzEAg6DHSTR5y Lime Work: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_klwopXzJnEOCkI2VxsrHWIG Roofing: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kkCH8gTps-w3Lisd5V6520k Structural Repairs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_knSGKjiQYGqTd0uGc_SLHj6 Restoration How-To's: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kmUndOU26Hz8b97Ewa5zs6V The Farm: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_klq9DF6zWr93-znH7nXoN2t Plant & Equipment: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kn_wU_5d5m3FsHiQSUJ9oz0Website & Contact Website - https://www.restoration-services.uk.com Email - media@restoration-services.uk.com #WorkshopLife #MachineryRepair #WorkshopRepair #EngineeringLife #FixIt #DIYFix #Sandblaster #BlastingPot #MachineTeardown #HeavyTools #PTFETape #AirCompressor #WorkshopProblems #MediaBlasting #Dolomite #BlockedNozzle #ToolTime #EngineeringFix #DailyVlog #RealLifeVlog #BehindTheScenes #SatisfyingFix

From ASHES to AWESOME | Wythenshawe Hall Restoration - Fire Damage & Sash Windows
We’re back at Ironbridge for the start of a massive heritage restoration and construction project on one of the most historically significant industrial buildings in the UK. Inside this structure sits the very first Darby Furnace, a key piece of Industrial Revolution history, and we’ve been brought in to carry out a full roof replacement, structural repair, and internal refurbishment.In this video, we show the complete site setup process, including: • Installing track mats to create a temporary access road for trucks and deliveries • Setting up security fencing, Heras panels, safety banners, and support bracing • Preparing for a full internal scaffolding crash deck for safe roof removal • Inspecting the old 1982 roof and identifying rust, corrosion, and steel beam damage • Planning the removal of worn roof sheets and replacing them with high-performance composite roofing panels • Protecting the historic kiln and walkways with full dust-proof sheeting and coverings • Preparing the interior steel frame for cleaning, sandblasting, zinc-rich priming, and resprayingThis restoration will involve roofing work, cladding replacement, structural steel repairs, scaffold installation, site logistics, heavy lifting, and preservation of a historic industrial landmark. It’s one of the biggest and most exciting projects we’ve ever tackled — and it’s a rare opportunity to bring new life to a structure built around a kiln dating back to the birth of modern industry.Follow this series if you're interested in: roofing systems • steel frame buildings • industrial refurbishment • heritage construction • scaffolding techniques • site management • renovation vlogs • building conservation • construction engineering.0:15 Intro 1:05 Existing Roof over Historic Furnace 3:00 Problem, Access / Track Mat Issue 3:40 Setting up fencing 3:37 Saturday Loading Track Mats on Lorry 4:30 Hookloader Unloading Skip 4:48 Laying Track / Access Mats to Historic Darby Furnace 7:17 Explaining how Track Mats surface work 8:29 Internal works to the Historic Furnace building 10:48 Herus Fencing to Restoration Site 12:04 Track / Access Mats installed 12:11 Access Mat Clips Explained 13.22 Final ThoughtsShare this Video with friends and family: https://youtu.be/8C3rg66Icus Join our Channel - You can subscribe to our channel below. http://www.youtube.com/user/UKRestorationServices?sub_confirmation=1UK Restoration Services Playlist's Carpentry & Joinery: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kl7NjslizGYzEAg6DHSTR5y Lime Work: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_klwopXzJnEOCkI2VxsrHWIG Roofing: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kkCH8gTps-w3Lisd5V6520k Structural Repairs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_knSGKjiQYGqTd0uGc_SLHj6 Restoration How-To's: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kmUndOU26Hz8b97Ewa5zs6V The Farm: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_klq9DF6zWr93-znH7nXoN2t Plant & Equipment: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kn_wU_5d5m3FsHiQSUJ9oz0Website & Contact Website - https://www.restoration-services.uk.com Email - media@restoration-services.uk.com #HistoricRestoration #IronFurnace #DerbyKiln #IndustrialRevolution #UKRestorationServices #HeritageProject #SavingHistory #BritishHistory #400YearsOld #BuildingRestoration #Restoration #Conservation #Construction #Scaffolding #RoofReplacement #HistoricalSite #OldBuilding #TimeLapse #Architecture #IndustrialHeritage
