Woodworm Treatment in Laois

First, the Heritage Town of Abbeyleix and the planned estate villages of Stradbally, Emo and Durrow, where original 18th and 19th century timber is still common and Deathwatch Beetle in oak is a real possibility. Second, the Victorian and Edwardian streetscapes of Portlaoise, Portarlington and Mountmellick, where Common Furniture Beetle in roof timbers is the dominant issue. Third, the 1990s and 2000s commuter estates that have grown rapidly around Portlaoise and Stradbally, now reaching the age where untreated roof rafters can develop first-generation infestation.

Our Laois commercial work covers the Heritage Town pubs, restaurants and boutique hotels of Abbeyleix; the Emo Court and Stradbally Hall estate properties (when their consultants ask); the farm outbuildings and grain stores of the Stradbally and Vicarstown plains; the equestrian properties of the Slieve Bloom foothills; the parish churches, primary and secondary schools across every Laois diocese; the offices of the County Council estate; and a strong rota of country pubs across the county. Laois is a county where the heritage and commuter-belt elements coexist, and our treatment specifications follow accordingly. For the planned estate villages and the Abbeyleix Heritage Town fabric we use conservation-grade methods.

For commuter estates around Portlaoise we use single-day boron treatment. For farm outbuildings and grain stores we treat the whole timber envelope as one job, often combined with ventilation improvements.
