Woodworm Damage in Older Homes
After a damp season, we've found signs of common furniture beetle (woodworm) in Oxford properties built before modern timber protection standards. In one case, we discovered extensive damage to floor joists in a 1950s home — the sort of thing that leads to costly repairs if you leave it too long.
Thermal Imaging & Targeted Woodworm Treatment
Tavora uses thermal imaging to diagnose concealed woodworm issues in structural timber, identifying moisture areas that attract common furniture beetles. We then carry out a targeted woodworm treatment that penetrates the timber, effectively eradicating the beetles and preventing further damage. Once the treatment's done, we'll provide a comprehensive photo report documenting the affected areas and the treatment applied for your records. If you've got concerns about other pests like bed bugs, don't hesitate to get in touch.
