What is Woodworm?
Woodworm is the name commonly used for wood-boring beetle larvae that feed on timber. Over time, this can weaken floorboards, roof timbers and structural wood.
Woodworm is often linked to damp or poorly ventilated conditions, which create an ideal environment for larvae to thrive. Effective treatment focuses on stopping active woodworm infestations and preventing further damage. Addressing underlying moisture issues is key to long-term control and helps prevent reinfestation.
Signs of Woodworm Infestation in Nottingham
Not all woodworm damage is recent, so accurate diagnosis is essential. Our surveyors assess whether the infestation is active, the species involved, and the extent of the damage. Woodworm is not always easy to spot, but common signs include:
- Small round exit holes in timber
- Fine powder (frass) around affected areas
- Weak or damaged wood
- Beetles emerging from timber in warmer months
If you’ve noticed any of these, a professional inspection can confirm whether the infestation is active. This ensures you only receive the treatment that’s necessary—no unnecessary work.
Woodworm Treatment in Nottingham
Woodworm treatment changes depending on the severity and type of infestation. In many cases, specialist timber treatments are applied to eliminate larvae within the timber. Where damage is more advanced, repairs or timber replacement may be recommended alongside treatment to restore structural strength.
If damp is a factor in your property’s woodworm infestation, we can also treat the cause of your damp problem. This can include remedial work to fix gutters, leaky pipes, poorly maintained brick pointing, or other issues causing moisture ingress. Our surveyors will outline any work needed, alongside a no-obligation quote, in their survey report.
Whilst we often have same-week availability in Nottingham, it can be dependant on demand. Call 0113 208 9146 to speak to us and find the earliest survey appointment that works for you.

Woodworm can cause serious structural damage if it isn’t addressed early. Woodworm can weaken timber over time, particularly in structural areas like joists and roof timbers. Early treatment helps prevent more extensive repairs.
Active woodworm infestations are usually indicated by fresh exit holes, fine powder (frass), or beetles emerging from timber. A professional survey is the most reliable way to confirm activity and ensure that the right treatment is applied.
If the underlying conditions remain, such as damp or poor ventilation, there is a risk of reinfestation. Addressing these factors helps ensure long-term protection. We offer 20-year guarantees on completed timber treatments to help with this.
