Protecting the wooden structures of your building

Dampness combined with poor ventilation causes fungal attack on timber, better known as dry rot or wet rot. Dry rot is a serious form of timber decay. It can travel quickly through building materials other than timber, causing extensive structural damage within a short time. Therefore, dry rot requires a more comprehensive treatment compared to wet rot. Located in Belfast, the team at Danlor Utilities Ltd can help you eliminate dry or wet rot.

In addition to rot treatment, we can also help remove woodworm infestations, penetrating damp and rising damp.
