Timber Treatment & Restoration in Dorset & Hampshire – Wet Rot, Dry Rot & Woodworm Specialists
At Proofterior, we provide professional timber treatment and restoration services for homes and businesses in Bournemouth, Dorset, Hampshire, and surrounding areas. Timber is the backbone of your property’s structure, but issues like wet rot, dry rot, and woodworm infestations can weaken it and lead to costly repairs if left untreated. Our expert team identifies the root cause, stops the decay, and protects your timber with long-term preservation solutions backed by guarantees.
Common Timber Problems We Treat
Wet Rot
Wet rot occurs in damp conditions, softening and weakening wood. We remove the affected timber, apply fungicide, and fix the underlying moisture problem to prevent recurrence.
Dry Rot
Dry rot is one of the most destructive timber issues. We identify and eradicate dry rot fungus, replace damaged timbers, and install ventilation to stop future outbreaks.
Woodworm
Signs like small exit holes, frass (wood dust), or weakened timber may indicate woodworm. We identify the species and apply targeted insecticidal treatment for lasting protection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Timber treatment
What is timber treatment?
Timber treatment involves protecting or repairing wood affected by decay, insects, or moisture. It includes insecticide, fungicide, and structural repairs.
How do I know if my timber is infected?
Look for soft spots, discolouration, fine dust, holes, or fungal growth. We’ll confirm the issue during your inspection.
Is timber treatment disruptive?
Most treatments are localised and fast. We’ll explain any disruption clearly before work starts.
Do I need treatment if I’ve just got condensation?
Possibly — damp conditions cause both rot and beetle infestations. It’s best to check early before damage spreads.
Is your work guaranteed?
Yes, all our treatments come with long-term, insurance-backed guarantees
