Repair or replace: expert advice
Joinery Inspection Service
The programme consists of a mixture of theoretical and practical elements, with the emphasis very much on ‘hands-on’ experience. Information about the causes of timber decay will be discussed along with an overview of how to identify and assess existing damage. Following an introduction to the range of Repair Care systems, all delegates will have the opportunity to extensively use the tools and products needed to achieve a perfect repair. The course includes light refreshments and all delegates will take away full product and system information and their own sample window sections from the practical session.
