What Is Woodworm?
Woodworm is caused by the larvae of wood-boring beetles that tunnel through timber as they feed. Over time, this can weaken structural timber and cause costly damage if not treated properly.
Woodworm is commonly found in:
- Floorboards and joists
- Roof timbers
- Loft beams
- Staircases
- Wooden window frames
- Structural timber in older properties
It often appears alongside damp or rot problems.
Signs of Woodworm Infestation
You may have woodworm if you notice:
- Small round exit holes in timber
- Fine dust (frass) around wood
- Weak or crumbling timber
- Beetles emerging near windows or light sources
- Damaged floorboards or joists
If you suspect active woodworm, professional inspection is essential to confirm the extent of infestation.
Why Woodworm Is Often Linked to Damp
Woodworm thrives in damp timber. Persistent moisture from rising damp, penetrating damp, leaks, or poor ventilation creates ideal conditions for infestation.
That’s why we don’t just treat the insects — we investigate and resolve any underlying damp issues to prevent recurrence.
This positions us as a diagnose-and-fix properly company, not a surface treatment provider.
