Timber is a vital component of any property’s structure, providing strength, stability, and support for roofs, floors, and framework. Over time, untreated or damaged timber can be affected by moisture, pests, fungi, or rot, compromising the safety and longevity of your building. At Capital Inspections, we provide professional timber and rafter treatment services that protect, preserve, and prolong the life of your property’s wooden structures.

Whether you are dealing with damp, woodworm, or general wear and tear, our experienced team ensures effective, long-lasting solutions that safeguard your home or commercial building.

Why Timber & Rafter Treatment Matters

Timber is susceptible to a variety of risks that can lead to structural problems:

• Wood Rot – Caused by moisture and fungal growth, which weakens timber.

• Woodworm & Pests – Insects such as beetles or termites can eat through timber.

• Damp & Condensation – Can lead to mould, decay, and structural weakening.

• UV & Weather Damage – Sunlight, rain, and temperature changes can degrade exposed timber.

Neglecting timber treatment can result in expensive repairs, unsafe structures, and reduced property value. Timely inspection and treatment prevent serious damage and ensure your property remains safe and strong.

Our Timber & Rafter Treatment Services

We provide a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet the needs of both residential and commercial properties.

1. Timber Inspection & Assessment

Our process begins with a detailed inspection of all timber structures, including rafters, beams, joists, and roof trusses. We identify:

• Signs of rot or decay

• Pest infestations such as woodworm or termites

• Damp or water penetration

• Structural weaknesses

Following the assessment, we provide clear recommendations and a tailored treatment plan to address any issues.

2. Wood Preservation Treatments

Using industry-approved preservatives and solutions, we treat timber to prevent decay, fungal growth, and insect infestations. Our treatments penetrate deeply, protecting the wood from within and ensuring long-lasting durability. This process is suitable for:

• Rafters and roof beams

• Floor joists

• External timber structures such as fascias, soffits, and cladding

• Internal timber frameworks

Regular treatment increases the lifespan of timber, helping you avoid costly replacements.

3. Pest & Woodworm Control

Timber pests such as woodworm, beetles, and termites can cause significant structural damage if left untreated. Our specialist pest control treatments eliminate active infestations and protect timber against future attacks. We apply effective, safe, and targeted solutions to ensure your wooden structures remain secure and stable.

4. Damp-Proofing & Moisture Control

Excess moisture is one of the main causes of timber decay. We provide damp-proofing services and moisture control solutions that prevent water damage and mould growth. By keeping your timber dry and well-ventilated, we protect it from long-term deterioration.

5. Roof & Rafter Reinforcement

For properties with weakened rafters or structural timber, we provide reinforcement solutions. This may include:

• Strengthening beams and joists

• Installing additional support where required

• Securing loose or sagging rafters

These measures restore the strength and stability of your roof structure, ensuring safety and durability.
