Woodworm and Timber Treatment
Identifying whether timber dust (frass) emerging from wood holes represents an active infestation or historic damage is critical to preventing unneeded wood spraying. We inspect all structural boards carefully before specifying treatments.
When joist endings have rotted inside cold brickwork sockets, we splice in new pressure-treated building timbers supported by solid steel brackets or epoxy resins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between wet rot and dry rot?
Wet rot requires high surface moisture levels (above 50%) and stays localized, while Dry rot can spread aggressively across masonry to attack dry timbers once established.
