Woodworm Checks for Kettering Floor and Roof Timbers
Kettering has many Victorian terraces, semi-detached houses and newer homes where damp and timber defects can show in different ways. Many homes still include original joists, roof timbers and floorboards, so it is important to confirm whether damage is historic or active before treating it.
Our CSRT-qualified, PCA registered team surveys timber in Kettering and nearby areas including Barton Seagrave, Burton Latimer, Desborough and Rothwell. We check moisture, woodworm activity and signs of wet or dry rot, then explain the practical repair or treatment options.

What Our Clients Say
Trusted by Homeowners Across Northamptonshire
Trevor has just recently completed a damp and woodworm survey on my home (as part of a home buy/selling process). Trevor came around within a few days following my request for an assessment and was highly knowledgeable and professional. He then produced a report which was informative and helpful. Would recommend.
