We offer prompt surveys and detailed
reports for damp, woodworm and rot, tanking and wall tie problems
within working distance of our North Herts base.
As Sovereign Approved Contractors our
surveys are accepted by Building Societies, Estate Agents and
Surveyors and we will refund the cost of the report when you have
the works done by us. On completion we provide a Sovereign 30 year
protected guarantee for damp proofing or timber treatment that can
be kept with the deeds and passed on to successive buyers.
Woodworm or Dry rot can seriously affect the value of your property
and yet often, it isn't until you come to sell, that a surveyor will
inform you that you have a problem. We can inspect your house and if
necessary treat the affected timbers using the latest Sovereign
preservatives which are the safest products available.
This is now a requirement of the
Sellers Pack.
Timber is prone
to attack by insects / fungi if left untreated.
The Sovereign range
of Timber Preservatives has been specifically designed to include
products for pre-treatment of joinery and remedial treatment of
in-situ timber affected by fungal or insect attack.
The products we use
meet the relevant specifications of the Department of the
Environment, Local Authorities, BWPA and NHBC.
Fungus
This fungus causes decay primarily
under conditions of restricted ventilation and high humidity, the
optimum moisture content for decay being 25-40% moisture content.
Dry Rot
Dry Rot can remain active in timber
down to 20% moisture and once established can attack dry timber. It
can penetrate through brickwork and masonry and behind plaster,
decaying any timber en-route
Wet Rot
There are many species of wet rot but
all require relatively high moisture levels in timber (above 30%)
for development. Unlike dry rot any wet rot will be restricted to
areas of high moisture.
