Common questions

Dry Rot Treatment in Basingstoke: your questions

Is dry rot really that serious?

It can be. Dry rot spreads through damp masonry as well as wood, so a Basingstoke outbreak needs treating promptly along with the damp feeding it.

How do you stop it coming back?

By curing the damp, not just treating the timber. We deal with the moisture source in the Basingstoke property so the conditions dry rot needs are gone.

How do I know if I have woodworm or rot?

Small round exit holes and fine dust point to woodworm; soft, crumbling or cracked timber points to rot. The survey confirms which it is and how serious it has become.

Do you replace the affected wood?

Where timber is too far gone we cut it out and replace it, then treat the surrounding sound wood. Where it can be saved, we treat it in place.
