The photographs below show EXTREME examples of Dry rot - the early symptoms are far less dramatic. So, it is important to take qualified advice immediately. Many fungal attacks are actually Wet Rots, but some Wet Rots are difficult to distinguish from Dry rot, so do call us or a qualified Timber Infestation Surveyor. We can supply a list of Qualified Property Care Association Members, or go direct to the PCA Website.
