Structural Timber Remediation in Halifax

Project Overview

Northway carried out structural timber remediation works at a residential property in Halifax after timber defects were identified within the floor structure.

The works were required to address active woodworm activity, weakened joists and decayed boarding, helping ensure the affected areas remained safe, sound and suitable for long-term use.

The Issue

The property showed evidence of active woodworm infestation and timber deterioration within the floor structure. Some timber elements had been weakened, while sections of boarding had decayed and required replacement.

Where woodworm activity and timber decay are present together, it is important to assess both the infestation and the structural condition of the affected timbers before deciding on the correct remedial approach.

Works Carried Out

Northway undertook targeted timber remediation works to address the active infestation and repair the affected floor areas.

Works included:

• Treatment of active woodworm infestation within affected timber areas
• Reinforcement of weakened floor joists
• Removal and replacement of decayed boarding
• Assessment of affected timber elements during the works
• Remedial repairs to improve the condition of the floor structure

Outcome

The completed works helped restore the condition and stability of the affected timber areas while addressing the active woodworm infestation.

By combining specialist treatment with joist reinforcement and replacement of decayed boarding, Northway helped protect the property from further timber deterioration and improved confidence in the structural condition of the affected floor areas.
