Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my property has woodworm?
Woodworm signs typically include small, round exit holes in timber, fine dust beneath these holes, and weakened or damaged wood. At Gunn Timber Preservation, we carry out thorough inspections to identify the extent of infestation and recommend appropriate treatment options.
What types of damp can you treat?
We deal with various forms of damp including rising damp, caused by moisture from the ground; penetrating damp, where water enters through walls; and condensation damp, resulting from indoor moisture accumulation. Gunn Timber Preservation tailors treatments to address the specific damp problem detected in your property.
How long does a woodworm and damp treatment take?
The duration depends on the severity and type of issue but most treatments can be completed within a few days. After treatment, some drying out time may be necessary. Gunn Timber Preservation provides clear timelines after inspection to keep you informed throughout the process.
