WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Woodworm is a relatively common issue that can be dealt with before too much damage is done. One of the key signs are small holes surrounded by wood dust and you may even see woodworm beetles. The damage is actually caused by the larvae, so timber will need to be treated with pesticides before any damaged sections can be replaced.
WHAT DOES TREATMENT INVOLVE?
Treatment usually involves using a woodworm treatment spray that kills the insects on contact. We can then remove and replace timber which is too damaged to be treated or carry out repairs.
WHAT’S YOUR PROCESS?
Once we’ve identified the scale of the problem and the type of beetle, we’ll discuss the best course of action and specify a treatment for your home. While we’re carrying out work, we can also identify any other repairs required (e.g., for dry rot or damp).
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS?
Crumbly wooden board edges
Small holes in your woodwork
Fine and powdery dust around the holes
Finding adult beetles around the house
In extreme cases - weak and damaged flooring
