Dry Rot Treatment Manchester

Dry rot is a fungal decay caused by persistent moisture in timber. Unlike wet rot, dry rot can spread beyond the original damp area and affect large sections of a property if not treated correctly.

Common causes include:

• Rising damp
• Penetrating damp
• Leaking pipes or gutters
• Poor ventilation
• Long-term moisture build-up

This is why professional diagnosis is essential.

As experienced dry rot specialists in Manchester, we follow a structured and professional approach:

• Full Inspection & Moisture Diagnosis
  We identify the source of moisture — because dry rot cannot survive without damp conditions.
• Eliminate Moisture Source
  This may involve addressing rising damp, penetrating damp, leaks, or ventilation issues.
• Remove Affected Timber
  All severely damaged timber is carefully removed to prevent further spread.
• Specialist Fungicidal Treatment
  We apply professional-grade treatment to surrounding masonry and timber.
• Timber Replacement & Structural Repairs
  Where necessary, we replace affected structural timbers safely and professionally.

We don’t just “spray and leave” — we fix the root cause.

Dry rot is almost always linked to an underlying damp issue. That’s why we investigate whether rising damp or penetrating damp is contributing to the problem.

By resolving the moisture source first, we prevent recurrence and ensure long-term protection.
