What is Dry Rot?

Dry rot is caused by the fungus Serpula lacrymans. Despite its name, it develops where timber has been exposed to moisture and can spread through masonry to reach new timber, making early diagnosis essential. If untreated, dry rot can cause significant structural damage to floors, roofs, staircases and timber frames.

Common Signs of Dry Rot

If you notice any of these signs, arranging a professional inspection as soon as possible can reduce repair costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can dry rot spread through brick walls?

Yes. Dry rot can grow across masonry in search of new timber, allowing it to spread beyond the original source of moisture.

Is dry rot dangerous?

While the fungus itself is not usually harmful to people, it can severely weaken structural timber, making prompt treatment essential.

How long does treatment take?

The timescale depends on the extent of the damage. Following an inspection, we provide a clear programme of work and estimated completion time.

Can dry rot return?

If the moisture source is not resolved, dry rot can return. That’s why our treatment addresses both the fungal growth and the underlying cause of damp.
