Why Bournemouth Properties Need Specialist Dry Rot Treatment
Expert Surveys
Comprehensive dry rot surveys throughout Bournemouth using moisture meters, thermal imaging, and laboratory fungal identification. We locate hidden outbreaks behind plaster, under floors, and in roof spaces.
Full Timber Removal
Remove ALL infected timber plus minimum 1 meter beyond visible growth (as per BS6576). This includes floor joists, wall plates, skirting boards, and roof timbers. Dry rot mycelium can extend far beyond visible fruiting bodies.
Masonry Sterilization
Thorough fungicidal treatment of all exposed masonry (walls, brickwork, blockwork) that was in contact with infected timber. We use professional-grade biocides that penetrate deep into porous materials to kill dormant spores.
Moisture Source Elimination
Identify and fix ALL water ingress: leaking gutters, defective flashings, rising damp, penetrating damp, plumbing leaks. Without eliminating moisture, dry rot WILL return. We provide comprehensive damp solutions.
Ventilation Improvements
Install airbricks, extract fans, and positive input ventilation (PIV) systems to reduce humidity below dry rot threshold. Critical for Bournemouth's coastal properties where ambient humidity is high year-round.
Structural Replacement
Install pre-treated structural timbers to replace removed joists, floor members, and roof timbers. All work complies with building regulations. We provide structural engineering calculations where required for load-bearing members.
