We will solve your wood rot problems in Lostock and surrounding areas.  Wood rot can be caused by a number of different fungi and we are expert at identifying which species is attacking your home. Dry rot is a bit of a misnomer as all rot needs a certain moisture content to flourish. Excess moisture above the fibre saturation point allows rot to grow and spread in the timber of your property. The different fungi produce different enzymes which attack and degrade various plant materials. You may only notice the rot when the fungi fruits and this is when it spreads the spores to further infect your home. The spores can resemble a fine orange dust and will grow on any timber with the right moisture content.

If you have noticed the wood in your home become crumbly or friable you may have a problem. In Lostock, wood rot problems can remain hidden for years. Our first priority is to see how far the rot has spread and how sound the timber is. If the timber is badly infected it may have become structurally unsound and need to be replaced after we have rid the home of fungus infestation. If the root of the problem is not dealt with the fungus can come back so the timber needs treatment and the dampness in the home must be removed.
