Timber Surveys and Treatment in Northampton
Northampton is the county’s largest town, with Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses with a rich history in the boot and shoe industry. 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 Northampton and nearby areas including Kingsthorpe, Abington, Duston and Wootton. We check moisture, woodworm activity and signs of wet or dry rot, then explain the practical repair or treatment options.

I was very impressed with this company. They carried out damp proofing and replastering, and although I knew it might be messy work, the house was kept clean throughout and the team were polite and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend.
