Dry & Wet Rot Treatment Solutions
Timber rot can develop quietly and spread beneath floors, behind walls and within roof structures. If not addressed early, it can result in severe structural damage and costly repairs. At Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions, we identify the cause of moisture and apply targeted treatments to stop decay and protect your property long term.
We treat all common forms of timber decay, including:
Dry Rot (Serpula lacrymans)
A highly destructive fungal decay that spreads through timber and masonry in damp, poorly ventilated conditions.
Wet Rot
Timber decay caused by persistent moisture, often linked to leaks, defective roofs or plumbing issues.
Roof Timber Decay
Rot affecting rafters, joists and roof structures due to water ingress or long-term condensation.
Subfloor & Joist Rot
Hidden decay beneath floors caused by poor ventilation or rising damp conditions.
Associated Damp-Related Timber Damage
Secondary timber deterioration resulting from unresolved damp problems.
