Read this before you pay for treatment
Most of the money wasted on damp and timber in this region is spent before anyone has established what is wrong. These guides are written for the point before that, when you are holding a quote or a valuation comment and want to know what it should mean.
We carry out the remedial work, which is exactly why these pages say when it is not needed. A firm that treats a historic woodworm infestation or sprays a whole house for one soft joist end has earned an invoice and nothing else, and we would rather write the report that says so.
Each guide gives the figures quotes tend to fall in, the questions that separate a fair scope from a padded one, and the cases where the right answer is a repair, a repair to the water, or nothing at all.
Every guide
- What woodworm and rot treatment costs What woodworm, wet rot and dry rot treatment costs in Kent and the South East, what drives the bill, and the common cases where no treatment is needed at all.
