However, dry rot is vulnerable to certain environmental effects and, like all wood destroying fungi, it has essential needs, and it is those needs that limit the extent of spread and damage that this organism can inflict. Unfortunately dry rot is a very secretive organism, favouring dark, damp stagnant conditions to develop. This is frequently why it is able to spread extensively before the damage is first noticed. Many people expect large volumes of chemicals to be used and that they will have to put up with the risk of any toxic effects and unpleasant odours and fumes which may be a part of the treatment.
Our fully guaranteed specialist treatment, coupled with good building practice, will ensure that a building will be at very little risk from further dry rot activity and yet not put the occupants or the environmental risk from the problems which can arise from the use of traditional timber and masonry preservatives. All our specialist Dry Rot Treatments come with a 30 Year Guarantee!

The dry
rot fungus, Serpula lacrymans, is often regarded as
the ‘cancer’ of a building. Many myths have built
up concerning what this fungal decay is capable of
doing, occasionally leading to the belief that the fungus is indestructible
and that the whole of the building will have to be pulled down.
Our
treatment involves a new series of fungicides based on boron, a naturally
occurring mineral. These new products are virtually
odourless and have a mammalian toxicity generally in the
order as that of common household salt! Furthermore, our treatment formulations
are ‘environmentally friendly’ and have a very significant advantage
over the traditional dry rot preservatives in that
they are water diffusible and therefore diffuse into those areas that
are particularly susceptible to dry rot and other decays, i.e.,
where the wood is wet; the traditional preservative will not diffuse
into wet timber therefore leaving such wood at great risk of
decaying.
