Expert Identification and Treatment of Wood-Boring Beetles
Woodworm is the common name for several types of wood-boring beetle found in UK buildings, the most common being the Common Furniture Beetle, which attacks all woods but especially softwood.

Wet Rot and Dry Rot Timber Treatment
Specialist Rot Repairs to Protect Your Property Long-Term
Wet rot develops in persistently damp conditions and can weaken timber to the point it crumbles by hand. While wet rot affects timber only, dry rot is more aggressive, it can spread through plaster and masonry in search of more timber to attack.
Treating rot involves removing the affected timber, identifying and eliminating the source of moisture, and in cases of dry rot, stripping back adjoining plaster and chemically sterilising the exposed masonry to prevent further spread.
