The timber frame on the Traveller is structural and clad in aluminium panels. It must, therefore, be rot free for basic safety
Rot starts at the joints due to damp penetration. This first stage rot cannot be eliminated by bleaching and re-varnishing, this merely seals in the damp making the process accelerate However. If the old varnish is cleaned off and the rot area is treated with clear Cuprinol and finished with Danish or Teak oil, this will give the wood a few more years of useful life
Timber replacement is very labour intensive, therefore it makes better economic sense to replace a whole side at a time rather than fit an individual section.
For over 18 years a small top quality bespoke kitchen joinery company has manufactured our wood. We use seasoned Ash incorporating all the original design details. The joints are hand-finished to ensure accurate fit. The cost is from £695 +VAT for one side to about £1850 +VAT for all the wood, supplied and fitted.
NB. All prices quoted are approximate as of 2000 and are subject to change.
