Professional Dry & Wet Rot Treatment Service For Homeowners in Watford and Hertfordshire
Dry rot and wet rot are both forms of fungal timber decay, but they develop and behave differently. What they have in common is moisture.
Before damaged timber can be treated effectively, the source of excess moisture needs to be identified and addressed. This may involve checking for leaking pipes, defective gutters, roof problems, penetrating moisture, inadequate ventilation or other building defects.
For dry rot treatment, damaged timber may need to be removed beyond the visibly affected area because fungal decay can extend into surrounding materials. Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions’ own remedial process can include removing decayed timber at least 300mm beyond the last identified point of decay, treating adjacent walls and timber, and reinstating new treated timber where required.
Wet rot is generally associated with timber that has remained persistently damp. Once the moisture source is corrected and the affected wood is allowed to dry, further fungal activity can be controlled. Severely damaged timber may still require removal and replacement.
Our damp and timber surveys help establish the likely moisture source and extent of visible damage before remedial work is recommended.

Providing Professional Dry & Wet Rot Treatment Services For Homeowners in Chipperfield and across Hertfordshire
Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions provides professional dry and wet rot treatment for domestic properties in Watford and throughout Hertfordshire.
Timber decay can occur in many parts of a property, including:
-
Floor joists
-
Suspended timber floors
-
Roof timbers
-
Skirting and timber trims
-
Timber built into damp masonry
-
Cellars and basements
-
Areas affected by leaking plumbing
-
Poorly ventilated voids
-
Areas experiencing penetrating or rising damp
Because dry rot and wet rot are associated with excess moisture, treatment may sometimes need to be combined with damp proofing, condensation control or waterproofing & tanking work.
Our damp proofer and timber specialists assess the wider property rather than treating visible fungal growth in isolation, helping identify the conditions that allowed timber decay to develop in the first place.

Frequently Asked Dry & Wet Rot Treatment Questions
How Much Does It Cost to Treat Wet Rot?
The cost of wet rot treatment depends on how much timber is affected, where the damage is located and whether the underlying moisture source also needs remedial work.
A relatively small area of damaged timber may require localised replacement and treatment, while more widespread decay affecting flooring, joists or concealed structural timber can require more extensive work.
Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions carries out a survey before providing a written quotation so the recommended treatment is based on the actual condition of the property.
