Timber is one of the loveliest materials to have in the home. It gives off a natural warmth and rural charm that can’t be emulated by other materials. Exposed beams are still one of the most well-loved features in traditional properties, especially those in holiday homes in Cornwall. 

However, it can develop problems, and unfortunately these aren’t always immediately apparent: they are often hidden in the joists, support posts and lofts. 

Do the timber on your property in Cornwall have damp or fungus? Or is it infected with woodworm?

There are various signs that you need treatment for a timber problem at your home in Cornwall, including fungus, woodworm holes, crumbling timber and soft timber. These might be caused by wood boring insects or fungal growth. 

It’s important not to ignore issues like woodworm, since it can eventually impact the structure of your building or furniture. 

Here at REMTECH our treatments include using a water based fluid, that’s applied by spray or brush application. We also carry out resin repairs for damaged timbers that can’t be treated. If you have questions about any of our techniques, we’re always happy to offer more information.
