Woodworm Specialist Needed

Hi all,


We are currently selling our house and a surveyor has picked up evidence of woodworm in our floorboards (past or present is tbc). Do you know of a company who could check this out?


Obviously we are concerned that the specialist will be hoping to get business and may over-egg any evidence and treatment/replacements needed. Any recommendations or experience with local companies would be greatly received.


Thanks in advance!

Not able to recommend anyone, but I just thought I'd share this: the excellent wood floor sander who restored our floorboards to their former glory told me that he has never seen active woodworm in all his 30 years experience of restoring (mainly) Victorian floorboards. And that any evidence of inactive woodworm that he has seen has never been anywhere near enough to threaten the integrity of the wood. He advised us very strongly against having our floors treated in any way.

Good luck with house sale.

      Sephiroth, meaning of. "There was one SOLDIER named Sephiroth, who was better than the rest, but when he found out about the terrible experiments that made him, he began to hate Shinra. And then, over time, he began to hate everything." "Ha, ha, ha... my sadness? What do I have to be sad about? I am the chosen one. I have been chosen to be the leader of this Planet. I have orders to take this planet back from you stupid people for the Cetra. What am I supposed to be sad about?"

      We went there yesterday for lunch, which was really delicious and excellent value. A starter plus a main is £11.95 for their "lunchtime special". Just a main is £8.95. We had excellent gyozas to start, then I had pad thai and my partner had a stir fry, both with tofu. They were large helpings,  freshly cooked, with fresh veg. There is the option to have chicken or beef (prawns are £2 extra) Also they now have Thai beer (Singha) on draught or in bottles (previously it was being your own alcohol). The service was also good. We were sorry and surprised not to see more people in there, particularly as there was a match on. It is really worth the short walk from Lordship Lane!

      Stop posting contextless YouTube links and make an argument with words. In English.     if the YouTube link backs up your argument then all well and good. But just links on their own is demented
