Woodworm Treatment
in Carlow Town
Near Carlow Castle and the Barrow Track
Carlow Town's compact medieval core, ringed by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, gives us a steady stream of woodworm surveys every month. The town's mix of period townhouses, converted warehouses near the Barrow and 1970s estates on the edges all present different timber-treatment challenges. Most of our Carlow Town residential work is in the Victorian terraces along Tullow Street, Dublin Street and Burrin Street, where original pine floor joists and roof rafters are typically 140 years old or more.

Common Furniture Beetle infestations in attic spaces are the headline issue, often discovered when homeowners insulate or convert the loft. We also see steady demand from the modern estates around Pollerton and Graiguecullen, usually where flat-roof extensions have allowed moisture to track into the original roof structure. We work on a regular rota with several Carlow Town hospitality and retail operators: pubs and restaurants on Tullow Street and Potato Market, the upper floors of Dublin Street retail units occupied by solicitors and accountants, parish offices, and the Court House environs.
Commercial premises in Carlow Town
Treatment is scheduled around trading hours so businesses stay open. The converted Barrow warehouses now used as offices, gyms and apartments are another regular site — original timber roof trusses there need particular attention.
For the typical Tullow Street townhouse with Common Furniture Beetle in the roof void, our standard protocol is a boron surface treatment of all accessible rafters, purlins and joists, completed in a single day. Where infestation has reached the structural oak in older buildings, we add low-pressure injection. Every Carlow Town quote includes a moisture check around the eaves — these terraces are prone to gutter and parapet issues that drive re-infestation.
