The Importance of Professional Timber Treatment in Older Properties
Wood is a beautiful and timeless building material—but it’s also vulnerable to decay, insects, and moisture. For older or heritage homes across the Thames Valley, untreated timber can become a serious structural issue. That’s where professional timber treatment comes in.
Why Older Properties Are More at Risk
Many homes built before the 1970s used untreated or minimally treated timber. Over time, this makes them more vulnerable to:
- Woodworm infestations
- Wet and dry rot
- Structural weakening
In many cases, these issues go unnoticed until serious damage is done.
What Does Timber Treatment Involve?
Professional timber treatment includes:
- Full property inspection to identify signs of rot or infestation
- Targeted treatments using PCA-approved methods
- Protection against future decay and wood-boring insects
