    Client Testimonials

    London Damp Proofing proved to be reliable, professional and they did a fabulous job when they worked on our flat this year. The thing that sets them apart from their competitors is that they were friendly and genuine from the beginning right through to the end. Nothing was too much trouble!
    The builders worked efficiently and within the given timeframe and I appreciated the fact that they cleaned-up thoroughly afterwards. I am a very satisfied customer and would have no hesitation in recommending them.
    Denise Iron, Chingford

    Denise Iron, Chingford

    Really impressed with Tom and Steve. Good, honest, clean workers. Job well done. Would recommend them to anyone.

    Mick Pulham, Hornchurch

    My Mother recommended London Damp proofing upon my wife and I purchasing our new family home. They carried out a full Survey before the move, recommending treatments and pointing out problem areas. Our home was fully restored and finished to a very high standard, ready for us to add our own personal touch. It gave us full peace of mind, and we now have a 30-year Guarantee on the work should we wish to sell in the future.

    Dave Short, Brentwood

    The Guys at London Damp proofing went that extra mile for us, they did everything written in the fixed price quote, with no hidden extras. Friendly and professional, even after we changed our mind on the colour we wanted the walls painted once the damp and renovation was completed, and the paint had been purchased, this was not a problem. We would highly recommend their services to anyone, and certainly use them again

    Mrs M. Short, Chelmsford

    Amazing lads – friendly, fast and very competitive. They also know their trade which is a great reassurance. I would never use anyone else.

    Mr R Smith, Camden

    What is Woodworm?

    Woodworm is a common household pest that can cause significant damage to your property. These small, wood-boring beetles lay their eggs in timber, and when the larvae hatch, they burrow into the wood, creating tunnels and weakening its structure. Over time, this infestation can compromise the integrity of wooden beams, floors, and furniture, posing a serious threat to your home. If you think you may have a woodworm infestation, woodworm treatment in Essex is vital.

    What Causes Woodworm?

    Several factors contribute to woodworm infestations. Here’s what might bring woodworm into your home, causing you to need woodworm treatment in Essex.

    • Moisture

    Woodworm larvae thrive in damp conditions, so excessive moisture in your home can attract them. Poorly ventilated areas, leaky roofs, or plumbing issues can create the ideal environment for woodworms.

    • Type of Wood

    Different wood species vary in their susceptibility to woodworm infestations. Softwoods like pine are more vulnerable than hardwoods.

    • Older Structures

    Older homes are more likely to have woodworm issues due to the aged timber used in their construction.

    How to Identify Woodworm?

    Detecting a woodworm infestation early is essential to prevent extensive damage. Look for these signs and, if you spot any, contact us for woodworm treatment in Essex.

    • Small Holes: Tiny exit holes, typically around 2mm in diameter, on wooden surfaces are a clear indicator of woodworm activity.
    • Fine Powder (Frass): You might notice a fine, powdery substance around the holes, which is the woodworm larvae’s excrement.
    • Weakened Wood: If wooden structures like floorboards or beams feel weak or sound hollow when tapped, this could be due to woodworm damage.
    • Adult Beetles: Spotting adult wood-boring beetles in your home is a definite sign of an infestation. They often emerge in the spring or summer.

    If you identify any of the above warning signs on your property, please don’t hesitate to contact us for fast woodworm treatment in Essex today.
