SPECIALIST WOODWORM TREATMENT
Timber Infestation - Woodworm & Beetles
Professional inspection and targeted treatment for wood-boring insects, helping protect structural timber and prevent further damage.
Eliminate Woodworm and Protect Your Home’s Structure
Woodworm is the name commonly given to the larvae of wood-boring beetles. Signs can include small round holes, fine powder or frass, weakened timber and adult beetles appearing near affected woodwork.
Old holes do not always mean an infestation is still active. P. Moody Building Contracts carries out a careful timber survey to identify the insect, assess the extent of any damage and determine whether treatment is needed. We then recommend a targeted solution and advice to help protect the timber in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if woodworm is active?
Fresh pale-coloured dust, new clean-edged holes or adult beetles may indicate recent activity. However, the signs can be difficult to interpret, so a timber survey is the safest way to establish whether treatment is required.
Does every woodworm hole need treatment?
No. Holes can remain long after an infestation has ended. Treatment should be based on the species, condition of the timber and evidence of current activity rather than holes alone.
Is woodworm treatment safe for occupied properties?
We will explain the selected treatment, preparation and any access restrictions before work begins. The exact precautions depend on the product, location and scale of the work.
Is woodworm treatment guaranteed?
Qualifying woodworm treatment is backed by PMBC’s written 20-year guarantee. The precise cover will be explained before work begins.
