Timber Treatment
Specialist treatment of rot, decay and infestation in structural timbers, joinery and roof spaces — protecting the parts of your home you can't always see.
Welsh weather is hard on timber. Even a well-maintained property can develop pockets of rot or insect attack — most commonly wherever damp has been left untreated for long enough to take hold, whether that's a leaking gutter above a roof timber or rising damp reaching a floor joist.
Our timber treatment service starts by identifying the actual cause, not just the symptom. We inspect accessible structural timbers — roof spaces, floor voids, joinery — assess how far any decay or infestation has spread, and only then recommend treatment. Addressing the underlying damp is always part of the plan, because treating timber without solving the moisture source just means the problem returns.
Sound timber is protected with professional-grade preservatives applied by brush or spray to penetrate the timber fully. Where decay has already compromised structural strength, we'll advise on or arrange appropriate carpentry repairs so the fix is complete, not just cosmetic.
