Timber Protection
We provide professional timber treatment services to address wood rot, insect infestations, and fungal attack that threaten the integrity and durability of your building’s wooden elements. Our specialists implement effective solutions for both structural timber and decorative wooden features.
Understanding Timber Issues
Wood deterioration can take several forms, each requiring specific approaches. These are the most common three that we deal with:
- Woodworm Infestation – Damage caused by wood-boring beetles, identifiable by small holes and fine dust
- Wet Rot – Fungal decay that occurs in timber with high moisture content, causing softening and breakdown of wood fibers
- Dry Rot – Aggressive fungal attack that can spread through masonry and dry timber, causing severe structural damage
New Innovative Products
At Renlon, we’re constantly developing better solutions for our clients and the properties that we work on. Our innovation has led to the creation of proprietary products that offer significant advantages over traditional methods.

Assessment and Solutions
Our timber treatment process begins with a thorough inspection by qualified surveyors who identify the specific issues affecting your property. We determine whether problems stem from insect activity, moisture exposure, fungal growth, or a combination.
For woodworm treatment, we apply specialised wood preservatives that penetrate deep into timber to eliminate bugs and larvae.
For wood rot, we remove affected material, treat surrounding areas, and address the underlying moisture sources that contribute to deterioration.
All treatments are selected based on the specific conditions of your property and the extent of the problem.
