Woodworm Treatment

Woodworm Treatment

Woodworm can be alarming to find, especially when the damage affects floorboards, roof timbers or structural joinery.

What woodworm means for a property

Woodworm is the common term for damage caused by wood-boring insects. 

Small exit holes, fine dust and local weakening of the timber may all point to infestation, but not every sign means the activity is current. 

Signs you may need treatment

You may notice damaged timber in lofts, floors, skirtings or joists, along with frass, small holes or localised weakening. 

 

How DampMaster helps

We assess the affected timber, determine whether the infestation appears active and identify any moisture issues contributing to the problem.

Recommendations may include targeted timber treatment, environmental improvements and repair or replacement where damage is more advanced.

Why choose DampMaster?

We diagnose the condition of the timber properly before treatment is recommended, so decisions are based on actual infestation risk and the wider condition of the property.

Our treatment approach

We use professional-grade fungicides applied via ultra-low volume (ULV) fogging, carried out with full PPE and appropriate breathing apparatus. Where timber damage has progressed beyond the point of effective repair, we remove and renew the affected timbers rather than attempt to treat them, ensuring the structural integrity of the property is properly restored.

FAQs & Support

Common signs of damp include tide marks or staining on walls, peeling paint or wallpaper, black mould, musty smells, and crumbling plaster or woodwork. You may also notice condensation on windows, cold or wet-feeling walls, or a general damp feeling in certain rooms, especially at ground level or in basements.

Damp can be caused by a range of issues, including rising damp from the ground, penetrating damp due to leaks or damaged masonry, condensation from excess moisture in the air, or even faulty gutters and drains. Our surveyors will assess your property to identify the exact cause and recommend the right solution.

Yes, especially if you’re seeing signs of damp or planning to buy a new property. A professional damp survey will help you understand the cause, severity, and best course of action. It’s the first step toward protecting your home (and your wallet) from long-term damage.

Costs can vary depending on the type of damp, the size of the affected area, and the treatment required. We carry out an initial damp survey so we can assess your property properly and provide a clear, fixed-price quote with no hidden fees.

Most treatments are completed within a few days, depending on the size of the job. We’ll always give you a clear timeline upfront, and we work hard to minimise disruption to your home.

In most cases, no. You can stay in your home while we carry out the work. If large areas need treatment or plastering, we’ll discuss this with you in advance so you can plan accordingly.

Yes, if plastering is part of the process, you’ll need to redecorate. We’ll leave your walls ready to paint or wallpaper once they’ve dried fully. We can also recommend trusted decorators in your area if needed.
