Wood is an essential part of many UK homes both structurally and decoratively. Unfortunately, if wood isn’t maintained, water ingress and excessive relative humidity can cause fungal decay, insect attacks or in some cases, both at once.
Woodworm
There are many types of insects that use wood as a habitat. Some are restricted to the forest, others can live in timber that has been felled and incorporated into the home. The most commonly known wood boring insect is known as Woodworm. Pre-purchase surveys frequently call for woodworm surveys to be conducted and treatment carried out if required.
Dry rot
Wood decay is caused by various fungi (of which dry rot is just one), which grow when the environmental conditions are right. Wood rot usually occurs when the moisture level of wood becomes elevated (>28%) and is sustained at a level (>20%) that will support fungal growth. Spores of a variety of fungal species are present in the air and these spores will germinate on wood and cause rot. The correct diagnosis of timber defects is essential before any work is carried out including dry rot treatment, wet rot treatment and woodworm treatment.

Biocraft in Windsor
Windsor is a historic market town and unparished area in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in Berkshire, England. It is widely known as the site of Windsor Castle, one of the official residences of the British Royal Family.
The town is situated 23 miles (37 km) west of Charing Cross, London, 7 miles (11 km) south east of Maidenhead, and 21 miles (34 km) east of the county town of Reading. It is immediately south of the River Thames, which forms its boundary with its ancient twin town of Eton. The village of Old Windsor, just over 2 miles (3 km) to the south, predates what is now called Windsor by around 300 years; in the past Windsor was formally referred to as New Windsor to distinguish the two.
