What needs assessing

Describe the timber, location, access and any apparent damage. An assessment should consider whether activity is current and whether further timber or structural advice is needed.

Review evidence of activity, accessible timber and the treatment scope, with specialist timber assessment discussed where needed.

Details for your enquiry

Provide the timber location, signs observed, access restrictions and any earlier survey or treatment paperwork.

Woodworm treatment: questions and answers

Do old holes automatically mean active woodworm?

No. The timber needs assessment to establish whether the evidence indicates current activity. Share when the signs were first noticed and any previous survey or treatment records before agreeing work.

What should I have ready for woodworm treatment?

Provide the timber location, signs observed, access restrictions and any earlier survey or treatment paperwork.

What affects the quotation for woodworm treatment?

Timber area, access, evidence assessment and the agreed treatment specification affect woodworm-related charges. Confirm what the inspection, treatment and any follow-up include before booking.
