Local knowledge
Woodworm in Barnsley homes
The common furniture beetle attacks softwood: floorboards, joists, stairs and roof timbers, all of which Barnsley's older houses are full of. It does best where the timber is damp, such as a floor that stays damp underneath (see timber treatment in Barnsley) or a roof that has leaked.
Fresh, pale dust below the holes and clean-edged holes mean it may still be active. Dark holes with no new dust usually mean it died out long ago.
Where it is active, the affected timber and the timber around it are treated so beetles die as they come out and new larvae cannot get in. See how woodworm is treated.

Questions
Questions about woodworm treatment in Barnsley
Not covered here? Ask us. A photo of what you have noticed helps.
When is woodworm most noticeable?
In late spring and summer, when adult beetles come out, leaving new holes and fresh dust. Dead beetles on windowsills at that time of year are worth noticing.
Will woodworm hold up a house sale?
A buyer's survey will look for it, and active woodworm can hold up a sale until it is treated. Old holes with no sign of activity usually need no more than a check.
How much does woodworm treatment cost in Barnsley?
It depends on how much timber is affected and how easy it is to reach, so we price each job on what we find. The quote is free.
