Questions
Before you book
Can you repair a wooden porch without replacing all of it?
Often yes. Sound posts, rails, and roof elements can stay while failed sections are cut out and replaced. The survey checks hidden junctions before the scope is fixed.
Do you paint and protect the repaired porch woodwork?
Yes when included in the quote. New and retained timber is prepared so primer and the selected exterior finish form one consistent protective system.
Can you build a new entrance canopy?
Yes. New timber or oak canopy work is measured and specified around the wall construction, doorway, roof covering, flashing, drainage, and proportions of the property.
Do you provide porch canopies & timber repairs in Wiltshire?
Yes. PCAE works from Chippenham across properties within about 40 miles. Send photos and the postcode so access and scope can be checked.
How is the price agreed?
Fixed quote after checking decay, access, retained sections, timber specification, and finish. The agreed scope and price are written down before work starts.
What is not included automatically?
Structural movement, hidden wall defects, electrical work, and specialist lead or tiled roofing are identified separately before work starts.
