Woodworm Treatment in Kilkenny

Kilkenny's residential stock is older on average than any other Leinster county outside Dublin. Townhouses on Kilkenny City's High Street, Parliament Street and John Street regularly have original 17th and 18th century oak and pitch-pine timbers still in service. Deathwatch Beetle in oak structural elements is markedly more common here than in neighbouring counties, and any quote of a medieval-fabric property in Kilkenny City requires careful structural assessment.

Outside the city, the rural townland properties around Bennettsbridge, Inistioge and Mullinavat present mostly Common Furniture Beetle activity in roof timbers. Our Kilkenny commercial work includes the city's many heritage pubs and restaurants (Kytelers Inn, Langton's, the Hibernian), boutique hotels (Pembroke, Butler House), the cathedral and St Canice's Round Tower properties, Kilkenny Castle's outlying buildings when their consultants ask, the Medieval Mile museums, primary and secondary schools, parish halls across every diocese in the county, the design-craft workshops of the National Craft Gallery, distilleries (Sullivan's), and a steady commercial rota of solicitor and accountancy offices in protected structures on Parliament Street and the Mall. Kilkenny is heritage-treatment country.

For the city's medieval and Georgian properties we use only reversible, conservation-grade methods — boron paste, controlled low-pressure injection at calibrated centres, and (where appropriate) sealed controlled fumigation for severe Deathwatch infestations of inaccessible oak. We handle all the protected-structure consent documentation with Kilkenny County Council as part of the job, and we work in close consultation with conservation architects when one is appointed.
