Timber borers are wood-eating beetles whose larvae tunnel through structural and decorative timber. Left untreated, they can seriously weaken floors, beams and furniture over years.
Service Overview
Different borer species affect different timbers — some attack only damp or decayed wood, others (like the furniture beetle) can re-infest dry structural timber year after year, progressively weakening floors and beams. Universal inspects affected timber, identifies the borer species from exit holes and frass, assesses the extent of damage and recommends appropriate treatment. This may include targeted timber treatment, moisture management or, where structural integrity is compromised, referral for timber replacement.
