Government-backed research has found that the timber frame industry is exposing occupants of timber frame buildings to potentially fatal fire risks due to poor workmanship. Problems related to cavity construction such as fire stopping abilities are compounded in timber frame buildings where the cavities are filled with combustible material. These problems had been exposed in a World in Action programme in 1983 but BRE research shows that the problem is still there and often caused by shoddy workmanship.
