Woodworm Treatment
We carry out woodworm surveys and treatment across Bournemouth — confirming active infestation before treatment, then protecting structural timber against re-infestation.
Call Now: 01202 XXX XXXGet a Free QuoteWoodworm can weaken joists, floorboards, and roof timbers progressively. Many homeowners only notice damage after visible exit holes or soft timber appear — by which point structural risk needs to be assessed.
We confirm whether an infestation is currently active, treat affected timber where needed, and identify moisture or ventilation issues that increase re-infestation risk — so treatment lasts rather than being a temporary fix.
Coastal humidity in Bournemouth and surrounding Dorset areas raises woodworm risk in lofts, subfloors, and exposed roof spaces. We factor local building age and conditions into every assessment.
- ✓Active versus historic infestation check — no treatment without evidence of live activity
- ✓Targeted treatment of affected zones, not whole-property blanket spraying
- ✓Post-treatment advice on ventilation and moisture control to prevent recurrence

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if woodworm is still active?
Fresh exit holes with pale bore dust suggest live activity. Old holes in hardwood are common in period properties and do not always mean live infestation. We inspect and confirm before recommending any treatment.
Is woodworm damage always structural?
Not always. Surface damage to softwood floors or furniture is different from compromised load-bearing joists. We flag structural risk clearly and prioritise accordingly.
Can woodworm treatment be done in an occupied home?
Yes, in most cases. We work room by room with minimal disruption and advise on any ventilation requirements after treatment.
What areas do you cover for woodworm treatment?
We cover Bournemouth, Southbourne, Winton, Charminster, Poole, Christchurch, and surrounding BH postcodes.
