Local knowledge
Woodworm in Sheffield houses
Sheffield's Victorian terraces and older stone houses are full of the softwood that woodworm favours: suspended floors, stairs, roof timbers and the joists over cellars. Much of it has had a century or more for the common furniture beetle to find its way in.
Cellars are worth a look. Damp timber is easier for woodworm to attack, so the joists above a damp cellar, or a floor over a blocked air brick, are where we would check first.
Plenty of Sheffield houses have old woodworm holes from an infestation that died out long ago. If the holes are dark and there is no fresh dust, the timber may need nothing more than checking for strength. See how woodworm is treated when it is active.

Questions
Questions about woodworm treatment in Sheffield
Not covered here? Ask us. A photo of what you have noticed helps.
Is woodworm common in Sheffield houses?
It is common in older houses anywhere, and Sheffield has a great many of them. The common furniture beetle is the kind usually found in homes, in floorboards, stairs, joists and roof timbers.
I have found woodworm holes in my loft. What should I do?
Look for fresh, pale dust below the holes, and for new holes in late spring and summer. If there are signs it is still active, or you are not sure, send us a photo or ask us to look. Roof timbers hold the roof up, so they are worth checking.

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, with no obligation.
