Woodworm Specialist Needed

Hi all,


We are currently selling our house and a surveyor has picked up evidence of woodworm in our floorboards (past or present is tbc). Do you know of a company who could check this out?


Obviously we are concerned that the specialist will be hoping to get business and may over-egg any evidence and treatment/replacements needed. Any recommendations or experience with local companies would be greatly received.


Thanks in advance!

Not able to recommend anyone, but I just thought I'd share this: the excellent wood floor sander who restored our floorboards to their former glory told me that he has never seen active woodworm in all his 30 years experience of restoring (mainly) Victorian floorboards. And that any evidence of inactive woodworm that he has seen has never been anywhere near enough to threaten the integrity of the wood. He advised us very strongly against having our floors treated in any way.

Good luck with house sale.

      It’s full-on consumerism season now until, well, Easter probably.

      Well thanks for enriching the conversation.  Would you chuck Fah - rage in too for his tax avoidance on his property?   I expect it was lead story on Jeremy Vine too.  Doesn't make it a story, just a bit more of BBC tabloid style sensationalism.  There are numerous real news stories in the UK and across the world.  And now, apt for Halloween, you have summoned up the ghost of Louisa. So for the third time, will you now eat humble pie?
