Specialist timber treatment and preservation for properties affected by woodworm, fungal decay, wet rot, dry rot and moisture-related timber damage.
Timber within a property can be damaged by moisture, fungal decay or insect attack.
Problems are often found in suspended floors, joists, roof timbers, skirting, structural timbers and other concealed areas.
Correct diagnosis is important because treatment depends on the type of defect and, in many cases, the source of moisture that has allowed the problem to develop.
PPS investigates and treats a range of timber-related defects, including:
Woodworm is caused by wood-boring insects that lay eggs in timber.
Signs can include small flight holes, bore dust and weakened timber.
The correct treatment depends on whether the infestation is active, the type of insect involved and the condition of the affected timber.
Fungal decay develops where timber remains damp for prolonged periods.
Wet rot is generally associated with consistently high moisture levels, while dry rot can spread beyond the original source of moisture and may affect adjoining materials.
Treatment normally involves identifying and correcting the moisture source before damaged timber is repaired or replaced.
Depending on the property, the investigation may include:
The appropriate treatment depends on the findings of the survey.
Remedial work may include:
The aim is to deal with both the timber defect and the conditions that allowed it to develop.
Treating damaged timber without addressing the cause of moisture can allow the problem to return.
PPS takes a survey-led approach to identify damp, ventilation or water-ingress issues before recommending timber treatment.
