Timber Treatment for Wellingborough Properties
Wellingborough is our home town, so we know the timber problems its housing produces: many of the older terraces still have their original suspended floors and roof timbers, while post-war and newer homes across NN8 and NN9 bring their own joinery and ventilation quirks. Woodworm, wet rot and dry rot each leave different evidence, and old damage is not always active.
Our CSRT-qualified, Property Care Association (PCA) registered team carries out free timber surveys throughout Wellingborough and nearby villages including Finedon, Irchester, Wollaston, Great Doddington and Earls Barton.

Timber Treatment Wellingborough NN8 & NN9
If you are searching for woodworm or timber treatment near me in Wellingborough, the first question is whether the problem is active. Fresh exit holes and fine powdery frass can point towards live woodworm, while soft, darkened or cracked timber usually means wet or dry rot is at work.
We check the affected timbers, moisture levels, sub-floor ventilation and nearby defects before recommending any treatment, repair or replacement. Historic woodworm that is no longer active often needs no treatment at all, and if that is what we find, we tell you.

Common Signs of Woodworm & Rot
- Small round exit holes in wood (woodworm)
- Fine powdery dust (frass) beneath timber

Frequently Asked Questions
Timber Treatment in Wellingborough
Local, honest advice, starting with a free survey.
Do you carry out timber treatment in Wellingborough?
Yes. We are based in Wellingborough and regularly survey timber in homes across NN8, NN9 and nearby villages including Finedon, Irchester, Wollaston, Great Doddington and Earls Barton.
How do I know if woodworm is active?
Fresh pale exit holes, fine powdery frass and recent activity around floorboards or roof timbers can indicate active woodworm. A survey confirms it.
Can damp cause timber decay?
Yes. Persistent moisture can lead to wet rot and can also create conditions that encourage woodworm. We check moisture sources as part of the survey.
Do damaged joists always need replacing?
Not always. Sound timber can often be treated, but badly weakened or decayed sections may need repair or replacement.
How much does timber treatment cost in Wellingborough?
The cost depends on whether the problem is woodworm, wet rot or dry rot, how far it has spread and whether timbers need repair or replacement. You receive a clear written quotation before work starts.
Does your timber treatment include a guarantee?
Yes. Relevant remedial timber treatment is backed by a 10-year insured guarantee, and we provide documentation after completion.
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.

We contacted Meadow Wood Preservation after finding damp and some damaged timber in our Wellingborough property. Trevor came out, carried out a thorough survey and explained everything clearly. The damp proofing and timber treatment work was completed to a high standard, with good communication throughout. Everything was left clean and tidy, and we are very pleased with the result. I would definitely recommend them.

I brought a new house and discovered I had wood worm and needed damp proofing to be done. I called 3 companies and was quoted £1500, then called Meadow Wood Preservation and Trevor came around and quoted a really competitive price that I decided to go with him. He came to following week and did the work one afternoon. They did a fantastic job, and I’ve already recommended him to a friend who has a damp problem on her house.
