WET ROT TREATMENT AYRSHIRE
Wet rot is one of the most common causes of timber deterioration in homes and commercial properties, developing where timber has been exposed to excessive moisture over a prolonged period. If left untreated, it can weaken structural timber, damage internal finishes and lead to more extensive repair work. At CPM Joinery & Timber Preservation, we provide specialist wet rot treatment services that identify the source of the moisture, repair affected timber and protect your property from further deterioration. With over 20 years of experience, we work throughout Ayrshire, including Girvan, Maybole, Ayr, Prestwick, Troon, Kilmarnock, Glasgow and the surrounding areas.
ELIMINATING MOISTURE PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE
Unlike dry rot, wet rot remains localised to areas where excessive moisture is present. This means that identifying and resolving the source of the water ingress is just as important as treating the damaged timber itself. Our experienced specialists carry out detailed inspections to establish why the timber has become damp before recommending the most appropriate remedial work.
Whether the moisture has been caused by leaking roofs, defective gutters, plumbing issues or poor ventilation, we provide practical long-term solutions that address the underlying problem rather than simply replacing damaged timber. By combining our timber preservation expertise with high-quality joinery repairs, we help restore the strength, safety and appearance of your property.
FINDING THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM
Successful wet rot treatment begins with understanding where the moisture is coming from. We carry out detailed inspections to identify the cause before recommending repairs that prevent the problem from returning.

WET ROT TREATMENT FAQs
If you've noticed signs of damp or decaying timber, here are answers to some of the questions we're most frequently asked about wet rot treatment across Ayrshire.
What causes wet rot?
Wet rot develops when timber is exposed to excessive moisture over a prolonged period. Common causes include leaking roofs, damaged guttering, defective plumbing, poor ventilation and persistent damp conditions.
How can I tell if timber has wet rot?
Typical signs include darkened timber, a soft or spongy texture, cracking paint, a damp smell and timber that feels weakened or begins to crumble. A professional inspection can confirm the extent of the problem.
Can wet rot spread throughout my property?
Unlike dry rot, wet rot usually remains confined to the damp timber where the moisture is present. However, if the source of the moisture isn't resolved, additional areas can become affected over time.
Does all wet rot timber need replacing?
Not necessarily. During our inspection we'll determine whether the timber can be preserved through treatment or whether replacement is the safest and most practical solution.
How do you stop wet rot from coming back?
The key to preventing future wet rot is eliminating the moisture source. Once this has been addressed, we carry out the appropriate timber treatment and repairs to protect the affected area.
