Because London is an old city the properties throughout are riddled with historic faults and problems that, over time, can easily lead to dry rot growing on either structural or aesthetic timber.
Plumbing leaks, enclosed or hidden timber construction, poor ventilation, and other similar issues can make dry rot a common problem in properties throughout London, especially in older homes, basements, attics, and subfloor spaces.
Dry rot can often be found where:
- Timbers are exposed to long-term moisture
- Where ventilation is limited or restricted
- In hidden spaces like behind walls or below floorboards, especially in instances where there are unnoticed leaks.
- Vacant or abandoned properties, or properties in which heating is inconsistent or not adequate.
Because our specialists are based in London they have a deep understanding of the various problems that cause dry rot in local properties, and will be able to diagnose and tailor a solution perfect for your property.
No two cases of dry rot are the same, and that’s why our approach is based on following up a PCA-qualified visit from a surveyor with specialist timber treatment designed to provide long-term protection.
Specialist Dry Rot Survey from CSRT Qualified Experts Local to London
When our surveyor visits your property they are going to inspect all visible and concealed timbers for any sign of dry rot, as well as the presence of anything that could risk a future outbreak. Any affected or at risk areas will be identified by our surveyor, and connected to the source of water feeding the growth of the dry rot itself.
Once the survey is complete, our surveyor will collect their findings, treatment recommendations, and any timber repair or replacement plans into a written report with a quotation for you to look over.
Specialist Dry Rot Treatment Throughout London
To treat dry rot effectively our technicians based in London follow a structured, specification-led approach, designed to eliminate decay and prevent further outbreaks:
Access and Removal of Affected Materials
We carefully open up affected areas, removing decayed timber and, where required, localised plaster finishes to fully expose the outbreak.Targeted Dry Rot Treatment and Moisture Control
Treatment focuses on eliminating the conditions that allow dry rot to thrive. This includes addressing the source of moisture, promoting rapid drying, and applying specialist fungicidal treatments to affected masonry and adjacent timbers where necessary.Timber Repair or Replacement
Damaged structural and non-structural timbers are repaired or replaced as required, with consideration given to isolating vulnerable elements to reduce future risk.Ventilation Improvements
Where appropriate, we improve airflow through underfloor voids, basements or enclosed spaces. In some London properties, this may include mechanical ventilation to remove moisture-laden air.Long-term Prevention and Guarantee
