Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my property has woodworm?
Woodworm signs include small round holes in timber, fine powdery dust, and weakened wood. At Gunn Timber Preservation, we carry out detailed surveys to confirm woodworm presence and assess severity before recommending treatment.
What methods do you use to treat rising damp?
We apply specialised damp-proof courses and chemical treatments that prevent moisture rising through walls. Gunn Timber Preservation ensures that these methods are suitable for your building’s construction and local conditions in Caithness.
Is condensation control part of your damp treatment service?
Yes, we advise on improving ventilation and insulation to reduce condensation-related dampness. Managing condensation helps prevent mould growth and protects timber from moisture damage alongside our direct treatments.
