Identifying Woodworm


As described some damage to wood may have been caused by 'forest' wood boring insects. Even where timbers have been infested within a property some wood borers are regarded as innocuous and do not require treatment, and in some cases an infestation has simply died out.


It is therefore important that the specialist surveyor can recognize the particular insect causing or that has caused the damage, whether it is a forest insect or innocuous, or even if once active infestation has died out and therefore requires no further attention.


At Timberwise all our surveyors are fully conversant with the wide range of wood boring insects found in the UK, and most important, whether the infestation needs treatment or not. We are fully aware of limiting preservative treatments to only those situations which are necessary, thus we only carry out works where is essential thereby minimising costs and disruption to the client but still maintaining the integrity of the timber.
