Timber Treatments
Dry Rot & Wet Rot
At CK Walker Damp & Timbers, we specialise in the identification, treatment, and prevention of dry rot and wet rot in properties across Derbyshire and surrounding areas. Left untreated, timber decay caused by fungal growth can lead to serious structural damage, compromising the safety and integrity of your home or business.
What Causes Timber Decay?
- Dry Rot – A highly destructive fungal attack that thrives in damp, poorly ventilated areas, spreading rapidly and weakening structural timbers.
- Wet Rot – A more localised form of decay that occurs when wood is in constant contact with moisture, often due to leaks, rising damp, or poor drainage.
Expert Timber Treatment & Preservation
Our experienced PCA certified specialists provide comprehensive rot surveys to diagnose the extent of timber damage and recommend the most effective solutions.
We use advanced fungicidal treatments, moisture control methods, and timber preservation techniques to protect your property and prevent future outbreaks.
If you suspect dry or wet rot in your home, contact us today for professional advice and a tailored treatment plan.
Woodworm Treatment
At CK Walker Damp & Timbers, we provide expert woodworm treatment and timber preservation services across Derbyshire and surrounding areas. Woodworm infestations can cause significant damage to structural and decorative timbers, often going unnoticed until the problem becomes severe.
What is Woodworm?
Woodworm is a general term for the larvae of wood-boring beetles, which tunnel through timber, weakening its structure.
Common signs of infestation include:
✔ Small round exit holes in wood surfaces
✔ Fine powdery dust (frass) near the holes
✔ Weak or crumbling timbers
✔ Adult beetles emerging from wood
Professional Woodworm Surveys & Treatment
Our experienced surveyors conduct thorough timber inspections to assess the extent of an infestation. We use specialist insecticidal treatments to eliminate active larvae and prevent reinfestation, ensuring long-term timber protection.
If you suspect woodworm in your property, contact us today for expert advice and a comprehensive timber treatment plan.
