Who we are
A national team of timber specialists
WoodwormTreatmentHQ is a national woodworm treatment service covering England, Scotland and Wales. Rather than a single van in one town, we are a coordinated network of local surveyors and technicians, so wherever you are in mainland Britain you get someone close enough to attend quickly and who knows the local housing stock.
Every survey is carried out by a qualified surveyor working to Property Care Association and BWPDA industry standards — the recognised benchmarks for timber and damp treatment in the UK. Our technicians are trained in the safe, correct use of professional treatments, and the chemicals we apply are approved products used strictly to label.
We work for worried homeowners, landlords, letting agents and people buying or selling a property who have had woodworm flagged on a survey. Whatever brought you here, the first job is always the same: find out exactly what you are dealing with.
What we stand for
Experience you can trust, advice you can act on
Between them, our surveyors have inspected tens of thousands of British timbers — from Victorian floor joists and tenement bressummers to historic oak and modern loft conversions. That experience matters most in one moment: telling you whether the woodworm in front of you is a genuine, active problem or simply old damage from decades ago.
Honest diagnosis first
Plenty of woodworm is old and long dead. We tell you when an infestation is historic and needs nothing more than monitoring — even though that means we walk away without a sale. An accurate diagnosis is worth more to you than an unnecessary treatment.
The right method, not the easiest
A loft of softwood rafters, a damp joist end and a treasured antique each need a different approach. We match the treatment — water-based spray, boron paste, fogging or timber repair — to the species and the situation rather than spraying everything by default.
Fixed written quotes
Every survey ends with a clear, itemised quote in writing. The price you accept is the price you pay — no day-rate surprises, no padded extras once the work has started.
We treat your home with care
Most jobs are finished in a day, treated timber is touch-dry within a few hours, and our technicians leave the space clean. We work around your routine and explain what we are doing as we go.
How we work
From first survey to guaranteed finish
One specialist team handles the whole job, so nothing falls between a surveyor and a separate contractor.
Free survey
A qualified surveyor visits, identifies the beetle species, checks the moisture content of affected timber and confirms whether the infestation is active or historic. You get a clear verdict, not a sales pitch.
Written quote
We set out exactly which timbers need treatment, the method we recommend and a fixed price. There is no obligation to proceed, and the survey findings are yours to keep for a sale or mortgage.
Targeted treatment
Trained technicians treat the affected areas — usually in a single visit — with minimal disruption. Where damp is feeding the beetle, we deal with the underlying cause so it does not return.
Certificate & guarantee
You receive a written treatment certificate and a 30-year guarantee on the treated timber, valid documents for property surveys, sales and your own peace of mind.
Not sure whether you need us yet? A woodworm survey is the sensible first step — it settles the diagnosis before any money is spent on treatment.
Peace of mind in writing
The 30-year guarantee
Every treated job is backed by a 30-year guarantee and a written treatment certificate. The guarantee covers the treated timber against re-infestation by the same wood-boring beetle, so once a problem is dealt with, it stays dealt with.
That certificate does real work beyond reassurance. Mortgage lenders and buyers' surveyors routinely ask for proof that woodworm has been professionally treated, and our documentation is widely accepted — which is why so many of our jobs come from people partway through a house sale.
- 30 years of cover on treated timber from the date of work
- A written certificate accepted by mortgage and survey reports
- Honest follow-up — we return if there is ever a concern
Why it pays to call a professional
Professional treatment beats DIY
A can of shop-bought treatment looks like the cheap option, but it solves the wrong problem. The hardest part of woodworm is not applying a chemical — it is the diagnosis. Is the infestation active or historic? Which beetle is it? Is damp feeding it? Get those answers wrong and you either treat timber that never needed it or, worse, leave an active problem to spread through structural joists and rafters.
DIY sprays also struggle to reach the depth where larvae feed, carry no guarantee and prove nothing to a future buyer. A professional survey settles the diagnosis, the treatment is matched to the species, and the result is covered for 30 years in writing.
What a professional adds
- A definite verdict on whether woodworm is active or long dead
- Correct species identification — and the right method for it
- Treatment that reaches the timber depth larvae live in
- A 30-year guarantee and certificate for surveys and sales
