Local knowledge
Floors and roofs in Barnsley houses
The suspended timber floors in Barnsley's older terraces rest on joists a short way above the ground, kept dry by air flowing in through air bricks. When those air bricks are blocked, or the walls are damp, the joists and boards stay wet.
Wet timber is where rot starts, and woodworm does best in it too. Roof timbers suffer the same way under a leaking roof or a blocked gutter.
Treatment means fixing the damp, treating the sound timber with a preservative and replacing what has lost its strength with treated timber. See how timber is treated.

Questions
Questions about timber treatment in Barnsley
Not covered here? Ask us. A photo of what you have noticed helps.
Why does my floor feel springy?
A springy or dipping floor can mean the joists underneath have rotted or been weakened by woodworm, often where they rest on a damp wall. It is worth having checked before it gets worse.
Do air bricks really matter?
Yes. They let air flow under a timber floor and keep the joists dry. Keep them clear of soil, paving and plant pots.
Can old timber be saved?
Often. Sound timber can be treated and kept; only timber that has lost its strength needs replacing.
