As with any timber problem, the damage wet rot can cause will increase the longer it is left to grow.  When wet rot is identified and treated early the area that needs treatment will be smaller and usually less expensive. When left to grow, wet rot can cause serious structural damage to timber and this an result in extensive timber replacement work to keep your property safe. 

If you have spotted the signs of wet rot we would advise booking a professional wet rot survey as soon as you are able. Thisa should keep the treatment as unintrusive and cost effective as possible.

Unfortunately there is no set cost for wet rot treatment as every property is unique and every wet rot outbreak will vary in size. This means different types of wet rot treatments will be required from home to home, business to business.
