Woodworm Treatment — Poole
Woodworm Treatment in Poole
Woodworm treatment in Poole starts with an evidence-led assessment. We consider fresh frass, hole condition, beetle activity, moisture and timber soundness before applying treatment.
Local context
Why Poole properties need careful diagnosis
Poole's older homes with suspended timber floors, loft timbers and sub-floor voids can harbour woodworm evidence. Coastal humidity and restricted sub-floor ventilation — particularly where air bricks have been blocked or bridged — create favourable conditions for active infestation.

Honest about what the work does — and does not — cover

Poole FAQs
About woodworm treatment in Poole
Are old woodworm holes in my Poole home active?+
Not necessarily. Fresh bore dust, clean-edged holes and seasonal beetle emergence provide context. Historic holes alone do not prove current infestation.
Do you inspect sub-floor timbers in Poole?+
Yes, within the agreed scope. Lifting fixed floors is separate enabling work.
How much does woodworm treatment cost in Poole?+
Cost depends on area, access, preparation and the extent of active infestation. We confirm after inspection.
Can I stay at home during treatment?+
This depends on the product, ventilation and access. We provide project-specific safety instructions.
Will you also fix the damp causing the woodworm?+
Yes. Moisture source correction is a key part of lasting timber treatment. We address both in the scope.
Is the specialist survey really free?+
Yes — completely. We offer every homeowner and property manager across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire a complimentary specialist survey at no charge. This includes an on-site inspection, written findings, a clear scope of any recommended work, and an honest referral if the problem falls outside what we do. You pay nothing for the survey. You only pay if you commission the remedial work, and you are under no obligation to do so. The reason we do this is straightforward: we believe in diagnosing the problem before recommending a treatment. A proper inspection takes time, and we'd rather invest that time up front than quote a solution before we've understood the cause.
