Woodworm Treatments

Most timber infestations in the UK are caused by the Common Furniture Beetle, who doesn't just attack furniture; it is just as likely to attack building timbers such as floorboards, joists, staircases etc... The adult beetle lays eggs on the surface of the wood, the hatching larvae eat their way into the wood, mature inside the timber and then eat their way our, emerging as adult beetles.

  

Woodworm treatment is straighforward. Heavily infested or weakened timber will be renewed where necessary and the area pressure treated with environmentally sound products.

Adc-Ltd will pressure spray affected timbers with a micro-emulsion preservative, cut out and replace decayed heavily infested timber and renew with pretreated timbers.

Woodworm treatments are covered by our 30 year guarantee with an option to take out a 20 year insurance bonded guarantee.

Adc-Ltd surveyors are trained to recognise the different types of beetle and to recommend the appropriate treatment in each case.
