Wet and Dry Rot

Tackle the cause of wet and dry rot to prevent further damage to your timber, plaster and masonry.

Wet and dry rot is a serious nuisance and can spread over time if left to cause significant damage to the timber and masonry in any property. It is often hidden and difficult to spot, so it’s important that the source and extent of the problem is found quickly to prevent expensive structural damage to your property.

Our PCA approved and trained damp specialists will survey your property to find the cause and extent of the problem. We will carry out the essential work needed to identify, remove and rectify wet and dry rot in your property.

Wet and Dry Rot Survey

It’s vital that not only do you know what is causing the wet or dry rot problem, but you must know to what extent the rot has spread.

We’ll carry out a timber survey to find out the extent of the problem and look for signs of decay, damage and infestation by wood boring insects. The survey will cover what needs to be done in detail and the best options available to you.

Wet and Dry Rot Treatment

Once we understand the extent of the damage and cause of the wet or dry rot, brown or white, we can safely remove and replace damaged timber and masonry. We can then treat the cause of the rot to prevent it from coming back in the future.

We have a range of possible treatments that depend on your property. This includes Boron-based chemicals, chemically injected DPC, re-rendering with specialist plasters, `tanking` or structural water-proofing treatments, and redecoration with specialist damp proof paint and coatings.

Treatments are carried out by accredited specialists with as little disruption to your property as possible, using high quality products from leading brands such as Safeguard and Sovereign.
