Sub-Floor Maintenance

Sub-floor areas, including floorboards, joists and supporting timbers, are critical to the stability of any property. They are often hidden and exposed to damp or poor ventilation, making them susceptible to decay and insect attack. At Northway Building Preservation, we provide expert sub-floor maintenance to protect these essential structural elements.

Our Approach

Our service begins with a thorough inspection of all accessible sub-floor spaces, including crawl spaces and suspended floors. We assess the condition of timber joists, bearers, and any supporting timbers, checking for signs of damp, decay, woodworm, or other damage.

Based on our findings, we provide recommendations and undertake necessary maintenance to stabilise and preserve the timber. This may include treatment of affected areas, improving ventilation, and ensuring that sub-floor timbers are kept dry and structurally sound. By addressing potential problems early, we prevent long-term structural damage and maintain the safety and integrity of the property.
