Timber Framed, Oak or Softwood, Grade 2 Listed or Period Property Sole Plate Repairs?

For nearly 20 years Adrian and Ben have been Restoring, Altering and Extending Grade 2 Listed

and Period Properties and estimate to have replaced well in excess of 100 metres of Sole Plates.



The Sole Plates are the first pieces of timber installed on any Timber Framed Building.

Structural timbers and Studwork sit on the Sole Plates so you can imagine their importance.



Some common causes of Sole Plate deterioration are: -


No damp course under the Sole Plate.

External ground levels built up over time, breaching damp course or the sole plate itself.

Internal floor levels built up over time, causing the same problem.

Internal floor changed from ventilated timber to concrete and screed.

Surface and Foul water drainage problems

Cement render being applied instead of lime to match existing.

Insulation being fitted incorrectly.

Unbreathable bitumen based felt being used over the frame.

Condensation because of a combination of above.

Beetle Infestation

Poorly maintained external surface finishes
