Dry Rot Treatment
Our dry rot treatment addresses invasive fungal decay in timber, preventing structural damage through moisture control and specialist remediation. We identify root causes, treat affected areas with fungicides, and implement long-term solutions. With over 14 years of expertise, we ensure properties remain structurally sound and protected against future outbreaks.
Wet Rot Treatment
Specialist wet rot treatment targeting moisture sources causing timber decay. Our process includes moisture analysis, removal of infected wood, and preventive treatments. We restore structural integrity while addressing underlying dampness issues, ensuring lasting protection for residential and commercial properties across Scotland.
Penetrating Dampness
Comprehensive solutions for penetrating dampness in walls and ceilings. We employ cavity drainage membranes, surface treatments, and structural repairs to stop moisture ingress. Our approach prevents mould growth and internal damage, maintaining property value and occupant health through proven industry techniques.
Rising Dampness
Targeted rising dampness treatment using chemical damp-proof courses and cavity drainage systems. We address compromised damp-proof barriers and implement ventilation improvements. Our methods stop moisture migration from the ground, restoring wall integrity and preventing plaster decay in historic and modern buildings.
Wood-boring Infestation
Professional woodworm and beetle infestation eradication. We conduct thorough inspections to identify pest types, assess structural damage, and apply targeted treatments. Our solutions include timber replacement and preventive measures, ensuring complete elimination of infestations while preserving original building materials where possible.

The service has been excellent, the work carried out to a high standard, the men are friendly and helpful and they always do such a good job at clearing up after themselves! We now know that when baby arrives we can bring him/her home to a dry/dust-free environment.

The Preservation Company team were excellent, very friendly and took the time to really explain to me what they were doing, why and what the next steps would be. All the work was completed on time Id been worried about the mess, but it was minimal and fully tidied up at the end. Thank you to everyone,
