Moisture Mend provides specialist dry rot treatment in Newcastle and surrounding areas for properties affected by fungal timber decay. We assess the affected timber and associated moisture conditions before providing appropriate treatment and remedial work to address the problem.
Dry rot can cause deterioration to floor joists and other timber within a property, making early identification and appropriate treatment important. Moisture Mend provides specialist timber solutions across Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland and Sunderland, addressing both affected timber and relevant moisture problems.
Establishing the nature and extent of timber deterioration is an important first step. Our Wood Rot Surveys can assess suspected fungal decay and moisture-affected timber to help determine whether dry rot is present and what remedial work may be required.
Our Timber Treatment services address timber affected by fungal decay, with the appropriate work determined by the condition and extent of the problem. Damaged timber can be dealt with alongside treatment of affected areas where required.
Dry rot is closely connected with moisture conditions within a property. Where damp or water ingress is contributing to timber deterioration, appropriate Damp Proofing or other moisture-control work can be considered alongside the dry rot treatment.
Dry rot is a form of fungal decay capable of damaging timber within a property. Problems can affect structural and other timbers, including floor joists, and some affected areas may be concealed beneath floors or behind existing finishes.

Where dry rot is identified, the affected timber can be treated while relevant moisture problems are also considered, helping address the conditions that have contributed to the deterioration rather than focusing on the timber alone.
We understand the relationship between moisture and timber decay, allowing both the affected material and contributing damp conditions to be considered.
Where required, timber treatment can be combined with damp remediation and associated property repairs to provide a more complete solution.
Successful dry rot treatment starts with identifying the affected timber and understanding the conditions surrounding the problem.
