Autumn Watch!

This is the time of year that the various kinds of boring beetle that we loosely group together as woodworm are breeding. Not that it is this year's breeding activity that anyone needs to worry about. If you have woodworm in your home, the damage could well have been done 12 months ago as the eggs can lie dormant in your structural timbers for years. When the eggs hatch into larvae, they bore their way to the outside and that is what does the harm to your home. Don't wait until you see the symptoms, if your home is of an age that is at risk, call us now to offer a free, no-obligation survey to assess the condition of your timbers.
