Structures shouldn’t be disposable.
We restore and construct the timber bridges and buildings future generations will stand on.
Setting today’s standard for our most timeless building material.
Because it has been in use since the dawn of time, and many timber structures have been built or repaired irresponsibly, a lot of people have lost faith in wood.
Official quality standards are unspecific and incomplete, leaving gray areas that builders may deliberately exploit or unintentionally stumble over. The result is often poor workmanship that removes decades from a structure’s potential lifespan.
But wood isn’t to blame. The real problem is improper building and repair methods, which do not maximize the longevity, strength, and economy of timber.
Together, we’re setting a higher standard for building and repairing wooden structures, demonstrating with every living beam that timber outlasts steel, concrete, and, yes, even us.
When built and maintained properly, wooden bridges easily last for 200 years.
You and your structure deserve more.
Your project is too important to neglect, and we’re dedicated to ensuring that our clients–and their structures–receive the highest quality care and service possible.

“Byron Shire Council engaged Timber Restoration Services to restore and upgrade the iconic South Arm bridge at Brunswick Heads. The bridge was in urgent need of refurbishment, and the opportunity was taken to upgrade it from 10 tonne to 44 tonne load capacity.
Their commitment to safety, quality and the environment was best practice. I found the field crew to be hard-working, polite, and appropriately skilled to perform the works to a high standard.
Throughout the project, I found Timber Restoration Services management to be fair and professional, dealing with issues on site promptly and always willing to provide advice to make sure the process ran smoothly.
Both Council and the community are very pleased with the finished project and I have no hesitation in recommending and using Timber Restoration Services on future projects.”

“The Municipality of West Grey engaged the services of Timber Restoration Services Canada to undertake the repurposing of an old rail trestle for a new walkway bridge.
The professional workmanship, conscientious attitude, attention to details and high knowledge in working with wood provided West Grey with a beautiful structure that its citizens will enjoy for many years to come. It was a pleasure to work with such a great company.”
