Professional Woodworm Treatment Service For Homeowners in Watford and Hertfordshire
Woodworm is the name commonly used for the larval stage of several species of wood-boring beetle. These insects lay eggs in or around timber, and the larvae can spend an extended period feeding inside the wood before emerging as adult beetles.
However, old flight holes do not automatically mean an infestation is still active. A professional inspection is important to establish the condition of the timber and whether treatment is required.
At Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions, our damp and timber surveys allow us to inspect accessible timber and assess the extent of visible damage before recommending remedial work.
Where woodworm treatment is required, our process can involve exposing accessible timber surfaces, brushing down affected areas and applying specialist timber treatment using pressure-spray methods. Floorboards may need to be lifted in certain areas so the treatment can reach joists and other structural timber underneath.
In addition to treating the infestation itself, we consider surrounding moisture conditions. Damp timber can create an environment in which timber pests and fungal decay are more likely to become established, so problems such as damp proofing, poor ventilation or water ingress may also need to be addressed.

Need Professional Woodworm Treatment in Watford, Hertfordshire?
If you have found unexplained holes in floorboards, fine timber dust, damaged joists or other possible signs of woodworm, arranging a professional survey is the best place to start.
Our team can inspect accessible timber, assess the extent of visible damage and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.
Where treatment is required, furniture, carpets and other floor coverings may need to be removed to provide access. Depending on the affected area, floorboards may also need to be lifted so joists and concealed timber surfaces can be treated correctly.
Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions provides a written report and quotation following the survey, giving you clear information before any treatment work begins.
Providing Professional Woodworm Treatment Services For Homeowners in Watford and across Hertfordshire
Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions provides professional woodworm treatment for homeowners in Watford and throughout Hertfordshire.
Before treatment, affected areas need to be accessible. Furniture, carpets and floor coverings may therefore need to be removed, and surfaces can require cleaning and preparation before specialist products are applied.
Prestige Damp’s own treatment process can involve lifting sections of floorboarding to access the timber beneath and pressure-applying treatment across accessible timber surfaces.
Treatment may be completed in stages depending on the property and extent of the infestation. Occupants, pets and other animals should not remain within treatment areas while chemical spray products are being applied, and re-entry requirements will be explained before work begins.
If timber has also been affected by moisture-related fungal decay, we can assess whether dry & wet rot treatment or other remedial work is required alongside the woodworm treatment.

Frequently Asked Woodworm Treatment Questions
How Much Does It Cost to Have Woodworm Treated?
The cost of professional woodworm treatment depends on the size of the affected area, how easy the timber is to access and whether floorboards, insulation or other materials need to be removed before treatment.
As a general UK guide, full professional woodworm treatment may cost around £500 to £1,000, while specialist surveys can vary depending on the property and inspection required.
The most accurate way to establish the cost is to arrange a property survey. Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions provides a written quotation based on the treatment recommended for your property.
