Signs of Woodworm Infestation
Active woodworm infestation occurs when beetle larvae continue to feed within timber. This can gradually reduce strength in structural elements such as joists, beams and roof timbers.
Common signs of woodworm infestation in Newcastle include:
- Fresh, clean-edged exit holes
- Fine powdery dust (frass) around timber
- Weak or crumbling wood
- Beetles appearing near timber in warmer months
A professional inspection confirms whether the infestation is active and requires treatment, or whether it’s a historic problem that’s already been resolved.
Woodworm Experts in Newcastle
Not all woodworm damage requires treatment. In many properties, exit holes may relate to historic infestations that are no longer active.
As trusted woodworm experts in Newcastle, we assess whether activity is current and identify the species involved. This ensures treatment is only recommended where necessary, avoiding unnecessary work.
Our surveys focus on both the timber condition and the environmental factors that may be contributing to infestation.
Our Woodworm Treatments in Newcastle upon Tyne
If an active infestation is confirmed in your property, we offer treatments that target both woodworm beetles and larvae in the timber to stop further damage.
Our woodworm treatment in Newcastle upon Tyne may include professional insecticidal treatments, treatment of surrounding vulnerable timbers, advice on improving ventilation and reducing damp in the affected area, and localised timber repairs where required.
Addressing moisture levels is often key to preventing reinfestation, as many woodworm species are attracted to damp timber. During your initial survey, we can check for damp problems in addition to woodworm, if necessary.
Whilst we often have same-week availability in Newcastle, it can be dependent on demand. Call 0113 208 9146 to speak to us and find the earliest survey appointment that works for you.

Active woodworm infestations often produce fresh exit holes and fine dust around affected timber, known as frass. A professional survey is needed to confirm whether the infestation is ongoing.
No. Many properties contain historic woodworm damage that does not require treatment. A specialist inspection determines whether the infestation in your property is active or historic.
It can be. If left untreated, active woodworm can weaken structural timber over time, making it dangerously unstable. Early treatment helps prevent more serious damage and the need for more extensive structural repairs.
When combined with proper damp control, professional woodworm treatment provides long-term protection against further infestation.
We offer 20-year guarantees on damp proofing and timber treatments for added peace of mind.
