Tudor Boards are an elegant and timeless feature on any home design and to see them not being looked after would be a real shame. If you are looking to learn how to fix mock Tudor boards, you may also be questioning if a repair or replacement is needed.
In this blog we will be providing a guide on mock Tudor board replacement and repairs.
Signs Your Mock Tudor Boards Need Attention
Before learning how to fix mock Tudor boards, it is important to know the signs that your boards are in need of repair or replacing. If you currently have real wood boards fitted onto your home, they can begin to rot over time if they are old or have not been treated properly. This is why we encourage homeowners to choose weather resistant polyurethane boards instead.
Again, with real wooden planks, their grain can look raised if your sealing agent has worn away. To help preserve your planks for longer, retreating the wood once it has dried can help to prevent rot from setting in.
If you begin to notice cracks running through your boards, it may be time for a replacement. As a roofing specialist we can assess these for you to see if there is any way to repair them, but if not we can provide quotes on a Tudor board replacement.
How to Fix Mock Tudor Boards
If we notice that the render underneath your mock Tudor boards require repair or renewal, we can help. If it only requires some attention, our team can paint your render using a high quality Santex exterior masonry paint. However, if your render requires repairing, our team can re-render your home. If we do, our team will use a Santex render weatherproof coating instead of plastering with sand and cement.
If you would prefer your house to not be re-rendered, we can instead install a coloured aluminium reinforced backing board. This is also known as a Render Board and is available in white or light ivory for a clear look.
