Timber is a vital part of your property’s structure, but it can become vulnerable to moisture, fungal decay and insect attack if problems are left unchecked. DampMaster provides specialist timber treatment services designed to protect sound timber and recommend the right repair where damage has already taken hold.

Roof timbers, floorboards, joists and concealed structural wood can all be affected when moisture levels remain too high.
Over time, that can lead to decay, instability and more extensive repair costs.
We assess the condition of affected timber, look for signs of fungal decay and beetle infestation and investigate the moisture source contributing to the problem.
From the survey findings, we recommend the most suitable preservation treatment, repair strategy or replacement approach.
Where needed, advice can also tie into wider damp proofing, waterproofing or ventilation improvements.

We do not treat timber issues in isolation.
Our approach links timber preservation to the wider moisture problem so the solution supports long-term building performance.
When treating woodworm or beetle infestation, we use professional-grade fungicides applied via ultra-low volume (ULV) fogging, carried out with full PPE and appropriate breathing apparatus. With dry rot and wet rot, treatment alone is not always enough. Where timber damage has progressed beyond the point of effective repair, we remove and renew the affected structural timbers rather than attempt to treat them. This ensures the structural integrity of the property is properly restored and gives customers confidence that the underlying problem has genuinely been resolved.
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.
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.
