Woodworm infestation can cause serious damage to the timber in your home, weakening its structure over time.

Using proven methods and top-quality treatments, we ensure long-lasting protection for your timber.

What is Woodworm?

Woodworm refers to a variety of wood-boring insects that lay their eggs in timber, causing larvae to tunnel through the wood as they develop. Over time, this can lead to structural weakness, which can be costly to repair if left untreated. Common signs of woodworm infestation include small round holes in the wood, powdery dust, and weakened timber.

Our Woodworm Treatment Services

We provide a complete range of woodworm control solutions, including:

  • Woodworm inspection to identify the extent of the infestation
  • Application of woodworm treatment with specialist chemicals to kill larvae and prevent further infestation
  • Timber restoration to repair damage caused by the infestation
  • Preventative treatments to protect timber from future attacks

We use industry-leading woodworm removal techniques to effectively treat your home, ensuring long-lasting protection and peace of mind.

Coleraine

Woodworm Treatment in Coleraine

Woodworm shows up regularly in Coleraine's older timber, from roof rafters and floor joists in Victorian and Edwardian properties near the town centre to structural timber in post-war estate housing. We look for the small round exit holes, fine powdery frass and softened timber edges that give an active infestation away, and check whether the beetle is still active before recommending treatment.

Damp timber attracts wood boring beetle far more than dry, well ventilated timber, so woodworm often turns up alongside damp or poor ventilation in roof voids and suspended floors, conditions that aren't hard to find near the River Bann or exposed to coastal weather. North Coast Damp Proofing Limited treats the active infestation and can advise on the damp or ventilation issue behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Woodworm Treatment in Coleraine: Your Questions Answered

How do I know if the woodworm in my Coleraine home is still active?
Fresh exit holes look pale and clean cut, and you may find fine powdery frass underneath them, whereas old, inactive holes tend to look darker and weathered. A survey can confirm whether beetle are still active in the timber.
Is woodworm common in Coleraine's older properties?
Yes, it's one of the more frequent findings in Victorian and Edwardian roof and floor timbers around the town centre, particularly where ventilation has been limited for a long time.
Does woodworm mean my timber is structurally unsafe?
Not necessarily, light infestations often leave timber sound, but a heavy or long standing infestation can weaken structural members like joists and rafters, which is why we assess the extent before advising on next steps.
What treatment do you use for active woodworm?
We apply a suitable insecticidal treatment to affected and surrounding timber, and where timber has been significantly weakened, we'll advise on repair or replacement alongside the treatment itself.
Can woodworm spread from one part of the house to another?
Wood boring beetle can fly to new areas of timber to lay eggs, so an untreated infestation in one part of a roof void or floor can extend further over time if left alone.
Is woodworm treatment guaranteed?
Yes, specialist woodworm treatment from North Coast Damp Proofing Limited comes with a 10 year guarantee, terms and conditions apply.
My holiday home near the coast has been empty for a while, could it have woodworm?
It's worth checking. Empty, unheated properties often develop the damp, still conditions that both woodworm and damp problems thrive in, and issues can go unnoticed for a long time between visits.
Do you treat woodworm in floor joists as well as roof timber?
Yes, we survey and treat woodworm wherever it's found, including floor joists under suspended timber floors, roof rafters, purlins and other structural timber.
Will treating woodworm disturb my roof space or floors?
Access is needed to the affected timber, so there's some disruption, but we keep it to what's necessary and explain what to expect before starting.
How much does woodworm treatment cost?
It depends on the extent of the infestation and how much timber is affected, so we survey first and give you a written quote based on what we actually find, rather than a flat rate over the phone.
