Woodworm Treatment in Kildare
County Kildare sits on the flat limestone plain that runs from the Wicklow foothills out to the bog of Allen, and its property stock reflects an unusual mix — Georgian country estates, the famous equestrian stud farms of the Curragh, three university and college campuses, and some of the fastest-growing commuter towns in Ireland. Every category brings its own timber-treatment requirements, and our Kildare team covers the entire county from a base inside the M50. Kildare residential work splits between three streams. The first is the dense modern estates of Naas, Newbridge, Maynooth, Celbridge, Leixlip, Sallins and Kilcock — properties typically 15 to 35 years old, where Common Furniture Beetle in roof rafters is the headline issue.
The second is the older village stock of Kildare Town, Athy, Monasterevin and Kilcullen — Victorian and Edwardian terraces and one-off period houses where we frequently find Deathwatch Beetle in oak structural timbers. The third is the substantial country-house stock of the Curragh hinterland and the K Club area, where heritage treatment standards apply. Kildare's commercial workload is uniquely shaped by the equestrian industry. We're regularly on-site treating the timber elements of stud farms, livery yards, stable blocks and feed stores across the Curragh, Kildangan, Tully and the lands around Naas.

Learn moreBeyond equestrian work we serve hotels and golf resorts (the K Club, Carton House, Killashee), the major retail parks at Newbridge and Naas, the data-centre campuses around Leixlip and Grange Castle, university buildings at Maynooth, primary and secondary schools across every parish, and the many country pubs and restaurants for which Kildare is known. The single largest treatment category in Kildare is timber in equestrian outbuildings. Our standard protocol there is full boron surface treatment of all timber elements — purlins, rafters, joists, stable partitions and feed stores — applied between training schedules. For residential work in the commuter towns we lead with single-day boron treatment of the roof void.
For the heritage country houses around the K Club, Kildangan and Carbury we use a conservation-grade protocol combining boron paste with calibrated injection.
