Protectahome recently investigated a dry rot infestation at a former school in Cowbridge. The school had been turned into luxury apartments and, shortly after the renovation had been completed, one of the apartment owners contacted Protectahome to carry out an inspection. The vendor was experiencing “springy” floors throughout the flat.

After a detailed inspection Protectahome’s experienced surveyor noted severe decay to the sub floor timbers which was caused by dry rot.

Protectahome’s directly employed operatives performed the opening up works and all defective timbers were removed and replaced with new treated timbers. Extensive dry rot treatment was also completed.

Dry rot is the most intrusive and destructive form of wood rotting fungi found in buildings. Dry rot has a unique ability to spread rapidly throughout building and materials. If you think your property may be suffering from a dry rot problem it is important to get a professional diagnosis.
