How We Solve Woodworm Problems

Our trained technicians don’t just treat visible signs of activity — they identify the type of beetle involved, locate breeding sources, and tackle the infestation at its cause. Every woodworm treatment starts with a comprehensive inspection and ends with practical advice to prevent the problem returning.

1. IniTIAL Visit

We inspect your property, identify the wood-boring species present, locate affected timber, and apply a tailored treatment designed to halt infestation and protect timber.

2. FOllow-UP

Two visits, 7–10 days apart, to monitor treatment effectiveness, address any remaining activity, and ensure all stages of the woodworm life cycle have been fully treated.

3. Final CHECK

We confirm that all affected timbers are clear of activity, complete any necessary re-treatments, and provide proofing and maintenance advice to prevent future infestations.

Understanding Woodworm and How to Spot It

Woodworm is the common term for the larvae of wood-boring beetles. The larvae tunnel through timber as they feed, weakening wood from the inside before emerging as adult beetles. Damage often goes unnoticed until visible holes or dust appear, by which time the infestation may be well established.

Recognising early warning signs helps prevent structural damage and costly timber repairs.

Signs You May Have Woodworm

Small, round exit holes in wooden beams, flooring, furniture, or joinery
Fine powdery dust (frass) around holes or beneath timber
Crumbling or weakened wood when touched or pressured
Visible beetles emerging from timber (typically in spring or summer)
Sagging floors, damaged skirting boards, or compromised roof timbers

Ensuring adequate airflow in lofts and underfloor spaces

Keeping timber clean, dry, and well maintained

Treating any exposed or untreated wood as a preventative measure

Sealing gaps around windows, doors, pipework, and vents where beetles may enter

Removing heavily damaged timber where necessary
