"Prompt administration for issuing the estimate. Gave advice and explained what was needed to be done. Once I confirmed that I wanted the work done they quickly gave a date to carry out the work. They completed the job promptly, no problems. Good clean up after the work had been completed.

Understanding Wet Rot
Wet rot is a common form of fungal decay that occurs when timber is exposed to moisture levels above 50%. This type of rot is often found in areas where timber comes into contact with damp walls, such as joist ends, floorboards, and skirting boards.
-
Key Areas Affected: Joist ends, floorboards, skirting boards, and any timber in contact with damp walls.
-
Common Causes: Dampness from rising damp, leaks, or poor ventilation.
During our rising damp treatments, our technicians are trained to identify any signs of wet rot and report on timber that is currently affected or at risk of future decay. Early detection and treatment are crucial to preventing more extensive damage and potential timber infestation.

Understanding Dry Rot
Dry rot, often referred to as the "cancer of buildings," is a more severe form of fungal decay that can cause significant structural damage if left untreated. Despite its name, dry rot requires moisture to thrive and can spread rapidly through timber, plaster, and even masonry.
-
Key Areas Affected: Hidden, unventilated areas such as roofs, subfloors, behind skirting boards, and under staircases.
-
Common Causes: Damaged roofs, defective gutters, washing machine leaks, and other sources of moisture.
Treating dry rot is a complex process that requires identifying and eliminating the moisture source, removing all affected timbers and plaster, and improving ventilation. Many builders and property developers trust our expertise in handling dry rot due to our extensive experience and proven success.
