Professional Timber Treatment and Preservation

Timber decay caused by woodworm, dry rot, or wet rot poses serious structural risks and can spread rapidly if left untreated. Our specialist timber treatment services provide comprehensive solutions including accurate diagnosis, treatment of infestations, removal of decayed timber, structural repairs, and preventative measures to ensure long-term protection of your property with insurance-backed guarantees.

Timber Problems We Treat

• Woodworm infestations (Common Furniture Beetle, Death Watch Beetle)
• Dry rot (Serpula lacrymans) - the most serious timber decay fungus
• Wet rot (Coniophora and other species) in damp conditions
• Timber decay in floor joists, roof timbers, and structural beams
• Damaged skirting boards, door frames, and window frames
• Insect damage to furniture and antiques
• Preventative treatments for new timber installations
• Re-treatment of previously treated areas

Our Treatment Process

We begin with a detailed timber survey by qualified specialists who identify the type and extent of decay or infestation. For woodworm, we apply professional-grade insecticidal treatments that penetrate deep into timber, killing larvae and providing long-term protection. Dry rot treatment requires more extensive work: we remove all affected timber plus a safety margin, sterilise adjacent masonry with fungicidal fluid, treat timbers in the vicinity, address the moisture source, and install replacement timbers. Wet rot treatment focuses on eliminating moisture sources, removing decayed timber, and treating remaining wood.

Prevention and Guarantees

Successful timber treatment requires addressing underlying causes. We identify and resolve moisture problems from leaks, rising damp, or condensation that allow fungal decay to establish. Improved ventilation prevents future issues in enclosed spaces like sub-floors and roof voids. All our treatments use approved products meeting British Standards, and work is carried out by qualified technicians. We provide comprehensive guarantees (typically 20-30 years) that are insurance-backed and transferable, giving complete peace of mind and protection for your property investment.
