Woodworm infestations in roof timbers are more common than many Greater Manchester homeowners realise — especially in older or poorly ventilated loft spaces. Left untreated, these timber-boring insects can compromise the strength of roof beams, joists, and rafters.
At Weather Wise Solutions, we provide specialist woodworm surveys and targeted timber treatments using safe, effective products from PAM Ties. Whether you're in Stockport, Oldham, Rochdale, or central Manchester, our team is here to help protect your home from timber decay.
🔎 Signs of Woodworm in Roof Beams
If you suspect woodworm in your loft, look out for:
-
Small round flight holes in timber surfaces
-
Fine sawdust (frass) beneath the beams
-
Weak, crumbling timber when touched
-
Beetle sightings, especially in spring/summer
-
Damp or poorly ventilated conditions in your roof space
Timbers in roof voids often go unchecked for years, making it easy for woodworm to spread unnoticed.
🛠️ How We Treat Woodworm
