After nearly 40 years in the insitu remedial timber treatment industry I have a real desire to share my experience of investigating, assessing and eradicating dry rot in buildings ranging from from the Victorian two bedroom terrace to the listed Historic Manor House or monument.
My aim is to remove the fear and help people to look after their homes with a few simple guidelines that in the long run may save their biggest investment or the loss of a valuable historical monument due to dry rot .
My work takes me all over the UK and North America and in future blogs I will take you into the full range of my investigations and experience .
I will also be helping you to deal with insurance companies and interpretation of policies with respect to making successful insurance claims related to dry rot
look out for future blogs about long-term guarantees issued by Remedial treatment companies and making claims
I’ve learned a thousand lessons , so you don’t have to
