TIMBER TREATMENT

Our traditional building methods combined with a predominantly damp, temperate climate causes the UK housing stock to suffer some of the highest levels of risk from insect and fungal attack to structural timbers. It considered ‘good practice’ in building design to pre treat timber with preservatives as a lifetime precaution against dry rot or woodworm (BS 8417).

Unfortunately, most traditional buildings (and lots of relatively modern ones too) do not have the benefit of such protection and this, combined with poor maintenance, leads to many cases of timber decay being identified during housing surveys.

The wakamol range of remedial wood preservatives and masonry biocides include some of the longest-standing quality brand names in the UK market. Products such as Wykamol Plus, Woodtreat Paste and the Brunol / Brunosol range are all industry benchmarks.

In more recent times we have launched Microtech bringing revolutionary water-based technology to the remedial market and Wykabor products using inorganic borates for low intervention treatments.

More recently we continued our product development program with a new generation of micro emulsion products utilising water soluble packaging technology Aquatech. Whatever your timber treatment needs, we can offer the most up-to-date products combining low hazards with effectiveness in use.
