Timber decay and woodworm can affect buildings of all ages. If you find that timbers in your property have come under attack from fungal decay or woodworm, then it may be the case that some form of timber treatment is required to ensure the life expectancy of the timber
As the trade body for the industry, the Property Care Association (PCA) has members that are qualified and regularly vetted to certify that they possess extensive experience in timber treatment for both structural and decorative timber.
Our members are highly trained and qualified in a wide range of timber treatments to make sure that they can provide just the right timber repair solutions to effectively repair your property and retain the aesthetic value of the structure. Technicians working under the PCA banner are capable of applying these treatments whether dealing with structural beams, joist ends, wall plates or resin repairs.
Due to the potential spread and destructive impact dry rot, wet rot and, if extensive enough, woodworm can have on a property it is recommended that if you suspect you have discovered either form of rot or woodworm in your home, then a qualified timber preservation professional should be approached to conduct a property survey to determine if a remedial action is required.
PCA members have the necessary skills to identify the rot and its causes alongside any other potentially damaging wood infestations such as woodworm, and rectify problems effectively and efficiently.
