Rainfall & ground movement
Bordon's climate is the sort that woodworm thrives in, particularly where you've got period timber that's picked up moisture over time. The Met Office puts average annual rainfall at around 1,000 mm, and that's enough to push moisture levels up inside homes. Where there's damp, woodworm activity follows — and it's the kind of damage that carries on quietly until someone actually looks for it. Tavora uses thermal imaging and moisture scanning during inspections to find the hidden damp spots, so the report you get back gives a clear, honest picture of any timber risks in the property.
Building Regulations & compliance
In Bordon, pest control work is governed by the Building Regulations, overseen by the local council's building control. It's there to make sure all pest treatments meet safety standards and that registered competent persons handle any notifiable work. Tavora provides detailed documentation of our pest control service, including compliance records, which is crucial when you're selling a property or dealing with insurance.
Pipe & material suitability
Bordon's housing stock, predominantly built in 2015, often features modern materials that can affect how well pest treatments work. We'll choose insecticidal dusts and targeted sprays based on the specific materials present in each property. Tavora uses products that meet British Standards, so you're getting effective pest control that accounts for the construction types you'll find in the area, like flats and maisonettes.
Local housing stock
Bordon's mix of flats and maisonettes throws up some real challenges for pest control. Solid floors are particularly common here, and they can make access tricky when you're treating for woodworm and similar pests. Tavora assesses each property's construction type before deciding on the right approach, so you're getting thorough coverage even in those awkward spots that are harder to reach.
