Communication was fantastic throughout, from initial enquiry through to consultation. Lee and the team were a great help and very knowledgeable! They knew exactly what the problem was and how to resolve it. I can highly recommend and will certainly bear Oakfield Contracting Services Ltd in mind for other jobs.

Protect timber before damage spreads
Woodworm and timber decay control are important at every stage, helping to identify problems early and prevent further deterioration. Visible signs such as flight holes, bore dust, or damaged timber can indicate wood-boring insect activity, but a professional inspection is needed to establish whether an insect infestation is active and how far it has progressed. Different species of wood-boring beetle leave different signs of activity, making accurate identification important for both diagnosis and selecting the most appropriate treatment.
High moisture content often plays a part, which is why the cause needs attention as well as the visible damage. Oakfield Contracting Services Ltd carries out this work across Gloucestershire with a clear, practical approach that helps you understand what is happening in your property. That means you can address structural risks and timber deterioration before further damage occurs.

Why proper diagnosis makes such a difference
Different forms of timber decay and wood-boring insect activity affect timber in different ways, with each presenting its own characteristics and signs. Our survey looks beyond the surface, so you don't end up treating infestations that are no longer active or overlooking hidden moisture that keeps the problem alive. In older homes, damp conditions or poor ventilation can affect roof spaces, floor timbers, basements, sub-floors, and outbuildings if left unchecked. Different species of timber decay fungi and wood-boring insects vary in how they affect timber, and the treatments used depend on the specific species identified. Accurate diagnosis is therefore an essential part of any remedial survey. We use our remedial surveying background to identify the likely source, the extent of decay, and the work needed to put it right. Across Gloucestershire, Oakfield Contracting Services Ltd helps you make informed decisions about the most appropriate treatment.
