Timber repair FAQ

No. We repair the timber. If termites are active, a pest manager should inspect and treat first. Repairing before treatment risks the new timber being eaten too.

Most Australian home insurance policies do not cover termite damage. That is why regular pest inspections and fixing damage early matter.

Often you cannot tell from the surface. We probe the timber and, where needed, remove linings or boards to see the full extent before we quote.

Small areas of soft timber can sometimes be cut out and patched. Structural timber and badly rotted boards should be replaced. We will tell you which applies.

Usually, yes. Many weatherboard, VJ and moulding profiles are still available, and we can source or adapt timber to match closely.

Sometimes. We quote on what we can see and probe, and if we find more once linings are off, we show you and agree the extra work before going ahead.

Filler can work for small, shallow areas of decay on non structural trim. Where rot goes deep or the timber carries load, it should be cut out and replaced.
