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.

      Of course they do.  Why on earth wouldn't they?

      At last a decision…. Hope it lives up to your expectations. Good post though as new eateries appeared which no doubt others like myself will try out. Has changed hands last year but sure that will not bother you…personally always abit concerned if not many eating over lunchtime but  that is just me. Do let us know how food was after all of you have  indulged…was great when it was a cafe and personally hope it is good as I like Turkish food.

      It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
