Timber Surveys | Timber Treatments and Remedial Work from a Devon based Family Run Business covering Ashburton.

It all starts with a thorough Timber Survey. As one of Devon's leading truly independent Timber Survey companies we take care to ensure our Timber Surveys are detailed, as they provide the foundation for all Timber Treatments. When complete, our Timber Survey / Inspection, will identify and Timber issues with the property (if there are any), the timbers of concern and more importantly, what is required to rectify any Timber deterioration or infestation issues discovered.

Timber Infestation Surveys Ashburton more Known commonly as “Wood Worm" Surveys. There are various types of woodworm including Longhorn Beetle, Death Watch Beetle, Wood Boring Weevil, and the more common Furniture Beetle in the UK. The result of this is a much weakened timber, that will normally become hollow inside. The first step is to establish if the infestation is live, or is in fact just historic deterioration, Our Timber Survey will determine if the infestation is active, the amount of deterioration caused and recommend any remedial work required.

Dry Rot Surveys in Ashburton, we conduct a Timber Survey to diagnose the reason why the Dry Rot has developed, why the rot is spreading and provide the correct recommendations to eradicate it.

Wet Rot Surveys Ashburton as with Dry Rot we conduct a Timber Survey to investigate the reason for the rot occurring. Our Timber Survey report will not just recommend any remedial work to correct the timber deterioration, but will more importantly advise on what is required to stop the Wet Rot returning.

  • What causes timber to get Dry or wet rot and can timber treatments help

    Plymouth | Tavistock | Ivybridge | Ashburton | Totnes | South Devon

    The most important thing is to identify the timber problem so that the Timber Treatment recommended is the correct treatment. A Timber Survey will determine the best course of action to solve any Timber problems. it is essential to determine whether your property is under attack from dry rot fungus or wet rot.

    Poor Roofing or Roof Problems or leaking gutters are very common sources of Timber problemss including wood rot. Other issues that include leaking baths, burst pipes or anything else that allows water to spread over large areas can cause Wet Rot and other issues.

    A lack of ventilation and high relative humidity (possibly down to condensation problems), dry rot is the more severe of either Wet Rot or Dry Rot due to its ability to grow and spread out from the initial germination point and giving it more freedom to attack other timbers in the property.

  • Timber Surveys & Timber Treatment for Wet rot or dry rot

    Plymouth | Tavistock | Ivybridge | Ashburton | Totnes | South Devon

    Everything starts with a Timber Survey, which helps determine the best method to use to Repair or treat the rotten wood. The correct Timber Treatment will enable you to prevent the spread and damage caused by either wet rot or dry rot, and protect your home from further structural damage.

    Woodworm is the common term for the larvae of various wood boring beetles. Signs of Woodworm can be holes in timber, dead beetles, or sawdust type mess on timbers. If you have seen these then it is worth investigating the suspect timber with a Timber Survey to establish whether a Woodworm infestation is active and needs Woodworm Treatment.

  • Don't all houses have some rusty wall ties in them?

    Plymouth | Tavistock | Ivybridge | Ashburton | Totnes | South Devon

    Yes, many houses do have a thin layer of rust on the wall ties and this may not seem a huge issue. However, the rusting can be much more than skin deep and the reduction in the strength of the ties and their connection to the wall can be severely reduced by rust.

    We use British Standards as our guide when assessing the condition of your wall ties and also when we are required to specify and install new remedial wall ties. When metal corrodes it can expand and become thicker. This is why corrosion of some types of old wall ties can cause cracks and bulges, this is often the visual signs of a Wall Tie problem

    • Bulging brick work,
    • Wall cracks
    • Raised roof
    • Signs of damp
  • What If My Wall Ties Need Replacement?

    Plymouth | Tavistock | Ivybridge | Ashburton | Totnes | South Devon

    We can replace the existing wall ties in your home using a suitable non-corroding alternative. Wall tie failure can happen where there has been corrosion of the existing wall ties or when insufficient or incorrect wall ties have been installed. We carry out a Wall Tie Inspection / survey to assess the condition of the wall ties in your homes cavity walls.

    On completion we provide you with information on the Wall Ties condition and should remedial work be necessary recommend the best way forward.
