Timber Treatment Specialists (Commercial & Structural Timber)
Advanced Damp provide specialist timber treatment services for commercial buildings, structural refurbishments, and mixed-use developments. Our focus is on protecting structural timber elements from decay, infestation, and moisture-related deterioration through investigation-led, proportionate intervention.
Timber failure in commercial environments can compromise structural performance, compliance, and long-term asset value. Effective timber treatment requires accurate diagnosis and coordinated remedial strategy—not generic chemical application.

Commercial Timber Risks in Buildings
Structural timber in commercial properties may be vulnerable to:
- Wet rot
- Dry rot (Serpula lacrymans)
- Fungal decay
- Wood-boring insect infestation
- Moisture-related degradation
- Historic untreated structural elements
Refurbishment and change-of-use projects frequently expose concealed timber defects that were previously undetected.

Investigation Before Treatment
Successful timber remediation begins with accurate identification of the underlying cause. Timber decay is almost always moisture-related. Treating timber without addressing the moisture source leads to recurrence.
Our investigation process includes:
1. Structural Timber Assessment
Inspection of accessible structural elements including beams, joists, roof timbers, floor structures, and concealed voids.
2. Moisture Source Identification
Assessment of contributing factors such as:
- Roof or façade defects
- Water ingress
- Condensation build-up
- Inadequate ventilation
- Bridged damp-proof courses
3. Decay & Infestation Classification
Identification of:
- Active vs historic infestation
- Extent of fungal decay
- Structural compromise
- Spread risk within concealed cavities
Only once causation is established do we specify treatment.
Commercial Timber Treatment Services
Our timber preservation solutions may include:
- Targeted timber treatment applications
- Fungal decay remediation
- Dry rot containment and eradication
- Structural timber repair or replacement
- Localised resin repairs where appropriate
- Moisture source correction
- Ventilation improvements
All works are proportionate and aligned with structural performance requirements.
Dry Rot in Commercial Buildings
Dry rot can spread rapidly through concealed voids where moisture conditions allow. In commercial properties, this is often linked to:
- Historic water ingress
- Poor ventilation in basements or roof spaces
- Refurbishment works trapping moisture
- Service penetrations allowing humidity transfer
Effective remediation requires not only timber treatment but environmental correction to prevent recurrence.
