West Twelve specialist surveyors are not a contracting company aiming to sell something. We are totally independent which means you receive unbiased objective opinion based facts and not the need to sell work. The majority of "Specialist" damp and timber treatment companies in the UK employ commission based sales staff to carry out inspections aimed at selling products and systems and the benefits of long term guarantees. In reality many of the treatments recommended by contractors are done so following misdiagnosis.
Dry Rot and Wet Rot are wood-destroying fungi which attack timber in order to extract food to maintain growth and the generation of spores. Affected timber exhibits significant loss of weight. In buildings the result is the deterioration and ultimately destruction of the timber with serious consequences in the case of structural sections. The problem affects all types of property, historic or modern. Dampness combined with lack of ventilation provides the ideal conditions for fungal decay. Wood rotting fungi can be commonly grouped into species of wet rot (of which there are many varieties) and dry rot.
