Wet & Dry Rot Treatments Stockport, Cheshire

Providing all aspects of wet and dry rot treatments in Stockport, Cheshire areas.

THE POSSIBLE CAUSES OF WET AND DRY ROT:

Many old buildings will show signs of dry or wet rot. Often the attack is long gone, leaving little but a bit of crumbly wood and old, brittle white strands. Like defunct woodworm, this does not mean an on-going problem.

Our trained, experienced surveyors will be able to tell the difference in live or dead strands, and recommend treatment.

• Inadequate ventilation to sub-floor areas
• The proximity of the timber to wet or damp walls
