Woodworm treatment
Protect timber, joists and prized furniture with focused woodworm diagnosis and treatment from a local, qualified team serving Sawbridgeworth and the surrounding areas.
Reliable Woodworm Treatment
Woodworm may be small, but the damage they leave behind can be a serious problem. These wood-boring insects feed on timber, slowly weakening wooden structures, furniture, and other items over time. If left untreated, woodworm can cause costly damage and may affect the strength and safety of the wood in your property. Spotting the signs early, such as small holes or damaged timber, can help prevent bigger issues.

Local Family Team You Can Trust
Operated by father-and-daughter team Ian and Emma, Rodect provides straightforward advice, careful inspections and practical treatment recommendations tailored to the affected timber.
What we inspect
We look for active exit holes, frass (powdery dust), weakened joists and adult beetle activity in both structural timbers and furnishings. Common culprits are the common furniture beetle and the deathwatch beetle; identifying the species dictates treatment and lifespan of the larvae. After inspection you receive a clear written report with recommended actions and timescales.
