TIMBER TREATMENT NEWCASTLE
Moisture Mend provides specialist timber treatment in Newcastle and surrounding areas for properties affected by wood rot, fungal decay and woodworm. We identify the nature and extent of the problem before recommending appropriate treatment to protect affected timber and address associated moisture issues.
TIMBER TREATMENT SERVICES IN NEWCASTLE
Timber problems can develop because of persistent moisture, fungal decay or woodboring insects and may affect floors, joists and other timber within a property. Moisture Mend provides specialist timber treatments across Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland and Sunderland.
DRY ROT TREATMENT
Dry rot can cause serious deterioration when fungal decay affects timber within a property. Our Dry Rot Treatment service identifies affected areas and provides appropriate treatment, including dealing with damaged timber and the moisture conditions contributing to the problem.
WET ROT TREATMENT
Timber exposed to persistent damp or water can become vulnerable to wet rot and progressive deterioration. Our Wet Rot Treatment service focuses on affected timber while also considering the source of moisture that has allowed the decay to develop.
WOODWORM TREATMENT
Wood-boring insects can damage structural and other timber if an active infestation is left untreated. Our Woodworm Treatment service provides appropriate treatment and protection for affected timber based on the nature and extent of the problem.
SPECIALIST TREATMENT FOR TIMBER PROBLEMS
Problems affecting timber are not always immediately visible, particularly where floor joists or other structural timbers are concealed. Signs of deterioration, fungal growth or insect activity should be properly investigated to establish what is affecting the timber before remedial work begins.
Moisture Mend combines timber treatment with specialist knowledge of damp and moisture problems. Where excessive moisture has contributed to wet rot or dry rot, the underlying damp or water ingress can also be considered alongside treatment of the affected timber to provide a more complete solution.
TIMBER & MOISTURE EXPERTISE
We consider both the deterioration affecting the timber and any moisture conditions that may be contributing to the problem.
COMPLETE TREATMENT SOLUTIONS
From identifying affected timber through to appropriate treatment and associated damp remediation, Moisture Mend provides practical solutions for timber problems.
WHY CHOOSE MOISTURE MEND FOR TIMBER TREATMENT?
Successful timber treatment depends on correctly identifying what is causing the deterioration. Moisture Mend provides specialist solutions for fungal decay, moisturerelated rot and woodworm while considering any associated damp problems within the property.
TIMBER TREATMENT NEWCASTLE – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Find answers to common questions about timber treatment in Newcastle, including dry rot, wet rot, woodworm and moisture-related timber problems.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DRY ROT AND WET ROT?
Both are forms of fungal timber decay, but they develop under different moisture conditions and can affect timber differently. Correctly identifying the type of rot and the moisture conditions contributing to it is important before treatment begins.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF WOOD ROT IN A PROPERTY?
Possible signs include timber becoming soft, brittle, cracked or visibly deteriorated, along with fungal growth or changes to surrounding areas. Some affected timber may be concealed, so further investigation can be required where rot is suspected.
CAN DAMP CAUSE TIMBER TO ROT?
Persistent moisture can create conditions in which timber becomes vulnerable to fungal decay. Where damp or water ingress is contributing to the problem, addressing the moisture source can be an important part of the overall treatment.
DO YOU PROVIDE WOODWORM TREATMENT?
Yes. Moisture Mend provides woodworm treatment for timber affected by wood-boring insects, with the appropriate treatment determined by the nature and extent of the problem.
CAN YOU SURVEY TIMBER BEFORE CARRYING OUT TREATMENT?
Yes. Moisture Mend's survey and inspection services include assessment of moisturerelated timber deterioration and suspected wood rot to help establish the problem before appropriate treatment is recommended.
