Dry rot and Wet Rot treatment
Dry Rot or Wet Rot can best be described as fungal decay to building timbers and is by far the most common, and the most serious cause of damage to building timbers. Contrary to popular belief, Dry Rot and Wet Rot are not limited to old buildings; they can affect all timber, both new and old. Dampness, along with a lack of ventilation, provides the perfect conditions for fungal attack on timber to take place. The fungus, once established, breaks down the cell structure of the affected timbers causing potentially widespread and extensive damage if left untreated.

What our clients say
Don carried out a damp & timber survey for a house we were purchasing, we were very happy with the survey and the professional manner it was carried out, we initially had a so called Free survey carried out by the estate agents guys who quoted a ridiculous amount to fix damp problems that didn’t even exist, Don identified the issues correctly and we used him to carry out recommended works once we completed on the house, would recommend anyone purchasing a property to speak with Don first.
