Woodworm Treatment in Longford
County Longford's lake-rich landscape, its mix of small market towns and dispersed rural settlement, and its strong agricultural economy produce a property stock that's quietly rich in original timber. From the planned streetscape of Longford Town to the lakeside thatched cottages of Lanesborough, we cover the entire county. Longford residential work splits between the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of the county's market towns (Longford Town, Edgeworthstown, Granard, Ballymahon) and the dispersed rural cottages and farmhouses that characterise so much of the county.
Common Furniture Beetle is the dominant species; Wood Boring Weevil can appear in damp ground-floor joists of older rural cottages, particularly those built directly on stone without a damp-proof course. The newer one-off rural homes built since 1990 also produce occasional infestation surveys as their roof timbers age. Our Longford commercial work covers the dairy and beef farm outbuildings throughout the Inny Valley, the lake-tourism guesthouses and B&Bs around Lough Ree and Lough Gowna, the parish churches across every parish, primary and secondary schools, the GAA clubhouses across the county, several country hotels (Longford Arms, Annaly), and a strong rota of country pubs.
