Signs of Dry Rot and Wet Rot
Rot problems are not always obvious at first. Common warning signs include cracked or shrinking timber, a musty smell, fungal growth, and wood that feels soft, springy, or weakened.
Dry rot may spread beyond visibly damaged areas, while wet rot tends to remain localised around moisture sources. A professional inspection helps confirm the extent of the issue.
Our approach focuses on eliminating the fungus, addressing moisture conditions, performing structural repairs, and restoring affected timber.
Dry Rot Specialists in Glasgow
Dry rot treatment begins with identifying and removing the source of moisture. We then treat affected timber and surrounding areas to stop fungal growth and prevent recurrence.
Dry rot is often linked to prolonged moisture exposure and poor ventilation. As experienced dry rot specialists in Glasgow, we investigate the cause of timber decay before recommending the most effective treatment plan.
Where structural timbers have been compromised, repairs or replacement may also be required to restore strength and safety.
Wet Rot Treatment and Timber Repairs
Wet rot develops where timber remains damp over time, often around leaks, condensation, or poor ventilation. Although typically less aggressive than dry rot, it can still weaken structural timber if ignored.
Damp problems and rot are often closely connected. Persistent moisture creates the conditions that allow fungal decay to develop, particularly in hidden areas such as floors, roof spaces, and basements.
We provide wet rot treatment in Glasgow alongside timber repairs where necessary, ensuring the affected area is fully restored. By addressing both the moisture source and timber damage, we provide a complete solution rather than a temporary fix.
Signs include cracked timber, musty smells, fungal growth, and wood that feels brittle or weakened. A survey will confirm the cause and extent of the problem.
Whilst we often have same-week availability in Glasgow, it can be dependant on demand. Call 0141 308 8559 to speak to us and find the earliest survey appointment that works for you.
Dry rot treatment costs depend on the cause and extent of the problem in the property. You will receive a written report following your survey that will include a clear quote for any recommended remedial works.
