Repairing Dry Rot
Dry rot is the most serious form of fungal damage. If left untreated, it can spread quickly throughout the timber in the building, causing extensive damage and an expensive repair bill.
If assessed and treated by our dry rot specialists early, the affected timber can be removed and the area can be chemically treated before an efficient dry rot repair is completed. We are trained and experienced in dry rot treatment for residential and commercial properties.
Treating Wet Rot Fast
Wet rot does not spread as fast as dry rot, but its capacity for damage shouldn’t be underestimated. Wet rot tends to concentrate on the damp areas of timber, which slows the process of decay down. Wet rot must be treated as soon as it’s noticeable to prevent detrimental damage to your home or business.
