Woodworm Insurance

Conventional household and contents insurers rarely provide policies that cover for attack by wood boring insects, wood-rotting fungi, rising damp or wall tie corrosion. However, Rentokil Insurance provides protection against all of these worrying problems.

Although early identification of the signs of woodworm can benefit the level of treatment required, it’s not always easy to spot these insects so it can be very beneficial to have a contingency in place.

It couldn’t be easier to insure your home with Rentokil Insurance. Simply book a Survey with Rentokil Property Care to inspect your property and based on the survey and your requirements, appropriate insurance cover can be provided.

• Following a survey of your property you will be provided with a detailed report and a quote for any treatment required
• The Surveyor will use factors such as the age, size and construction of your property to provide you with a woodworm insurance quote.
• If you choose to accept the insurance you will pay the first annual premium to Rentokil Property Care, who will then pass your details to Rentokil Insurance to write your policy
• The woodboring insects covered by the policy are:
  1. Common furniture beetle
  2. Death watch beetle
  3. House longhorn beetle

• Inspection when necessary, to find out the treatment required to control the infestation you report
• Treatment of the affected timbers to control the infestation
• Replacement or reinforcement of affected timbers, where necessary, to ensure they are strong and stable
• Repair of any wall and ceiling plaster that is disturbed while we treat or replace the timbers
