Carpentry

At Active Damp Solutions we provide a carpentry service for replacement timbers, i.e. floor joists, rafters, perlins, skirting boards and floorboards which have been affected by rot or wood boring insect damage. Our tradesmen are fully City & Guilds qualified and insured.

If you require any treatment or replacement timbers, please contact us for a free survey.

Some of the areas where our carpentry and joinery skill may be required:

After an inspection of a woodworm infestation there may be some or all of the floor joists / floorboards that may need replacing.  Not all woodworm issues will require complete removal of timbers and may require just some of the timbers replacing.  If a timber that has been effected still has most of its core strength, then a surface spray treatment with an anti-fungal or wood boring insect treatment spray will suffice.

Wet rot is another area where some or all of the timbers may require replacing.

Dry rot can be devastating when it takes hold.  Spores can spread very quickly throughout a building causing severe damage to materials.  This can result in having to replace all surrounding timbers, plaster and even fixtures like kitchen units, if affected.  

Rafters that are rotten or have perished from woodworm could also need replacing by one of our time served city and guilds trained carpenters/joiners.
