Is timber treatment always needed when woodworm holes are visible?
No. Old exit holes may not mean live activity. Treatment should follow evidence of active infestation or ongoing risk.

The assessment checks timber condition, moisture source, ventilation, and signs of active infestation before recommending targeted treatment or further structural advice.
