Woodworm Treatment in Watford & Surrounding Areas
Professional Woodworm Treatment for Long-Term Timber Protection

At Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions, we provide professional woodworm surveys and treatments carried out by qualified specialists. Based in Watford, Hertfordshire, we support homeowners across Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, London and surrounding areas with honest assessments and effective, long-lasting solutions.

Not all timber damage is caused by woodworm, which is why a professional diagnosis is essential. We offer paid woodworm surveys, carried out by fully qualified surveyors with extensive experience in timber and dampness in buildings.
Woodworm Treatment Solutions
Woodworm activity can remain unnoticed for years, gradually weakening timber structures. If left untreated, infestations can lead to structural concerns and costly repairs. At Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions, we accurately identify the insect species involved and apply targeted treatments to eradicate active infestations and protect timber long term.
We treat all common types of woodworm, including:
Common Furniture Beetle
The most widespread wood-boring insect in UK properties, often affecting floorboards, joists and furniture.
Deathwatch Beetle
A more serious infestation typically found in older properties, particularly where timber has been exposed to long-term damp.
House Longhorn Beetle
A highly destructive beetle that attacks softwood roof timbers and structural elements.
Wood-Boring Weevils
Usually associated with damp timber, often linked to underlying moisture problems.
Associated Timber Moisture Issues
Conditions that attract woodworm activity, such as damp or poor ventilation, addressed as part of our treatment approach.
