Professional Woodworm Specialists
Above Water provide expert woodworm treatment for homes and businesses. As damp proofing specialists, we protect timber from infestation and prevent long-term structural damage.
What Is Woodworm?
Woodworm is the common name for wood-boring beetle larvae that feed on untreated timber. Left untreated, woodworm infestations can spread, weakening structural beams, flooring and furniture. Because it thrives in damp environments, woodworm is often linked to rising damp, condensation and untreated timber in older buildings.
Signs of Woodworm Infestation
Common indicators that your property may be affected by woodworm include:
- Tiny round holes in timber.
- Fine, powdery dust near wood surfaces.
- Crumbling edges on beams or flooring.
- Weakened timber that breaks easily.
- Visible beetles or larvae.
If you notice these signs, contact Above Water for a professional timber survey.

We use proven methods to stop woodworm infestations and prevent further damage:
- Damp surveys and advanced diagnostics.
- Identification of affected timbers.
- Application of specialist insecticidal treatments.
