Woodworm experts covering the North of England - helping you identify active infestations and protect your property for the long-term
This short explainer video provides a clear, professional overview of woodworm in properties - how it develops, how it should be assessed, and what it actually means for your home. It also outlines the Northway approach, from initial survey and a detailed report through to any required treatment and long-term protection, so you can understand the process with complete clarity.
Our surveys assess the type and extent of the infestation, identifying beetle species and the level of activity. We inspect structural timbers such as roof and floor systems, looking for exit holes, frass (fine sawdust), and other indicators of active or historic infestations.
Every survey carried out by Northway is supported by clear, written report detailing our findings, diagnosis and recommendations. Prepared by PCA - CSTDB-qualified surveyors, your report provides a professional record of the timber condition within your property and, where necessary, the appropriate treatment required.
If an active infestation is confirmed, Northway will recommend the appropriate treatment based on the timber type, location, and severity. This typically involves preparation of affected areas and application of professional-grade woodworm treatment products.
If you have concerns about woodworm or timber condition, a professional survey will provide clarity and the correct advice for your property.

Lewis from Northway was polite, knowledgeable, and professional from the outset. We received a detailed report quickly and a very reasonable quote. The work was efficiently carried out and Lewis provided helpful advice afterwards.
Cannot thank Lewis enough for his prompt and professional advice. He clearly knows what hes talking about and was able to provide a diagnosis immediately to the issue. Fortunately for us it wasn't the dreaded woodworm but I would have no hesitation in recommending Northway.
Lewis and Lindsay were very good and professional. They explained all the job to be done in detailed and informative manner. They did timber preservation, vent installation with an added bonus of sealant application on our window. Will definitely recommend to our friends!
