Treating the woodworm

15th Oct 2023

A while back we discovered we had a problem with our roof leaking and this, in turn, made the roof space more welcoming to the Common Furniture Beetle, or rather it’s larval stage, known as woodworm.

We have had the roof repaired and it is leak free. Now we have to get the woodworm treated. In order for the contractor to spray the whole of the inside of the loft space to clear the infestation we have had to do quite a lot of preparatory work. This involved clearing the loft of all the stored equipment and materials and then lifting and stacking all of the wooden flooring we had put down to allow us access to that loft space.

You can see some pictures of the state of the loft before we started on our wiki page “What’s In The Loft?” page.

Here are some photos of what the Hackspace looks like now everything is out of the loft and what the loft looks like with everything removed and all the boards lifted.
