Wet and dry rot have a habit of creeping through a property quietly, leaving trouble in their wake. Cheshire Damp specialises in identifying, treating and preventing these issues with a level of precision that keeps homes and businesses across Wirral, Chester and Liverpool protected for the long term.

Our surveyors begin with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the source of moisture and assess the extent of any fungal decay. Wet rot typically forms in persistently damp timber, often due to leaks, poor ventilation or damaged roofing. Dry rot, on the other hand, is far more aggressive. It can spread rapidly through timber and even travel across masonry in search of a fresh food source. Both require quick, professional attention, and that is where our team comes in.

Cheshire Damp provides tailored treatment plans based on the condition of the building and the severity of the problem. Wet rot is addressed by removing affected timber, improving ventilation and tackling the underlying moisture. Dry rot demands more intensive work, including careful removal of decayed material, sterilisation of surrounding areas and reinstatement with treated timber. Every step is carried out with care to ensure the issue is fully resolved, not just covered up.
