    Timber Treatment for Nottingham Properties

    Dry rot, wet rot, and woodworm infestations thrive in damp conditions, so it’s not unusual to find one of these issues developing in properties with damp problems.

    Can damp cause damage to timber?

    Yes. Prolonged moisture can lead to timber decay or insect infestation, which is why early diagnosis and treatment are important.

    Dry rot, wet rot, and woodworm can eat away at structural timber in your property, with extreme cases becoming dangerously unstable and in need of serious repairs. Solving the problem early can help protect your property and prevent costly structural repair in future.
