Timber Repair & Preservation Services
Protecting Homes Across Cambridgeshire Since 1967
Worried About Timber Damage?
Timber plays a vital role in your home from structural beams to floor joists and roof timbers. When it’s affected by rot or woodworm, it’s not just cosmetic. Left untreated, these problems can lead to serious structural damage. That’s where APP comes in.
We’ve been protecting properties in Cambridgeshire and East Anglia since 1967. Our certified timber surveyors diagnose the issue properly and recommend the right treatment the first time. No upselling, no guesswork.
Signs to watch for include:
- Small holes in timber and fine sawdust piles (woodworm)
- Spongy or crumbly wood (wet rot)
- White strands or orange dust (dry rot)
- Sagging floors or cracking around joists
- Mould or fungus growing near timber
