Protecting Your Property’s Timbers

Common Timber Problems We Treat
Timber in buildings can be affected by a number of issues. The most common problems we encounter include fungal decay (wet rot and dry rot), wood-boring insect infestation (woodworm), and general deterioration caused by persistent moisture exposure.
Our treatments use professional-grade preservatives that are applied by our trained technicians. These products penetrate deep into the timber to provide long-lasting protection against future attack, and all treatments carry a full 10-year insured guarantee.
- Wet rot — caused by persistent moisture in timber
- Dry rot — the most destructive form of timber decay
- Woodworm — wood-boring beetle infestations
- Fungal growth — mould on timber surfaces
- Preventative treatment — for high-risk areas

Every timber treatment project begins with a comprehensive survey. Our CSRT qualified surveyor inspects all accessible timbers using specialist equipment to determine the type and extent of any problems present.
Following the survey, you receive a detailed written report with clear recommendations. We then carry out all necessary treatment work to PCA standards, using market-leading timber preservation products that deliver proven, long-lasting results.
