What is Dry Rot?
Dry rot is one of the most destructive problems to affect Bolton properties. It is a building decay fungus that spreads quickly through timber, looking for new material to feed on. If left untreated, dry rot can cause extensive and expensive damage to your property. Our specialist dry rot treatment in Bolton will stop the spread and protect your property from further harm.
You may suspect dry rot if you notice a mushroom-type scent, find red or brown dust on furniture, or discover fruiting patches of red decay in the corners of rooms. Square-patterned cracking in skirting boards and door frames is also a common sign. If you notice any of these symptoms in your Bolton property, contact Ascot Damp Proofing immediately.
What Should I Do if I Suspect Dry Rot?
The most important step is to act quickly. Ignoring dry rot will allow it to escalate and spread, causing far greater damage over time. Dry rot cannot be eradicated by homeowners themselves — you need the expertise of a professional dry rot specialist in Bolton. Call Ascot Damp Proofing as soon as possible to diagnose the problem and begin treatment promptly.
What is Wet Rot?
Wet rot occurs when timber is subjected to persistent dampness, causing it to soften and decay. Unlike dry rot, wet rot generally stays localised to the damp area, but it is still essential to treat it promptly to prevent further structural damage. Our wet rot treatment in Bolton addresses the root cause of the moisture as well as the timber damage itself.
Woodworm Treatment in Bolton
Different types of wood-boring beetles can cause major woodworm damage to softwood and hardwood timbers throughout your property. The most common type is Anobium Punctatum. Our team will quickly identify which beetle species is present and provide a competitive quote for woodworm treatment in Bolton. All woodworm work comes with a full guarantee.
