Woodworm can be alarming to find, especially when the damage affects floorboards, roof timbers or structural joinery. DampMaster provides professional woodworm treatment to help identify whether infestation is active, understand the seriousness of the damage and protect the timber from further deterioration.

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

If you need expert Woodworm Treatment advice or would like to book a survey, get in touch today and our specialists will respond quickly with the right solution.
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.
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.
We do not apply a one-size-fits-all fix. We treat each job with care and respect and aim to do it right first time, everytime.
Recommendations are based on survey findings, property type and the most appropriate treatment method.
Damp proofing work is backed by a guarantee where applicable.
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.
