Another property protected in Essex 🛠️🌳

Our team at Heritage Timber Preservation Ltd recently completed a full timber treatment project, tackling extensive wet rot and woodworm damage discovered within the structural beams.

After careful inspection, we removed the decayed sections, treated the affected timbers, and applied professional-grade preservation treatments to stop further infestation and decay. The result: stronger, protected timber and a safer structure for years to come.

If you’re noticing signs of woodworm, rot, or deteriorating timber, early treatment is key to preventing costly structural repairs.

This farmhouse renovation was a true transformation — taking a home that had fallen into poor condition and carefully bringing it back to life while preserving its original character.

The exposed beams were heavily coated, deteriorating in places, and showing signs of infestation, so the first step was to dry ice blast the timbers. This allowed us to gently strip away years of dirt, coatings, and contamination while keeping the historic surface intact and revealing the true condition of the wood beneath.

Once cleaned, we carried out specialist treatment for woodworm and death watch beetle, ensuring the structure is protected long-term and stabilised for the future of the property. We gave warranties with this to assure peace of mind.

To finish, we applied our own home-made wax, which we hand-paint onto the timbers. This method lets us really work the finish deep into the surface — even into softened or more fragile areas — helping to nourish the wood, improve its resilience, and enhance the natural warmth and texture of the beams.

A careful, hands-on process from start to finish — giving this farmhouse the solid, characterful interior it deserves once again.

A careful, considered restoration from start to finish 🪵

This project was all about respecting the building and its history. We sympathetically removed layers of old paint using dry ice blasting, revealing the original timber beneath without abrasion or damage. Once exposed, the beams were treated for woodworm and death watch beetle, ensuring the structure is protected as well as beautiful.

To complete the process, we applied a breathable wax finish, which we hand make, allowing the timbers to regulate moisture naturally while enhancing their colour, texture, and character. No sealing in problems, no shortcuts — just traditional materials, modern techniques, and a deep respect for historic fabric.

The result is a space where the craftsmanship can be seen and felt, and where these timbers are ready to stand strong for many more years to come.

From dark and oppressive to warm and cozy. One very happy client.

Treated for woodworm and deathwatch! Also found an infestation of silverfish 🪲

We unveiled many apotropaic marks on this bressumer beam after removing the paint coating through dry ice blasting ❄️

Dry ice blasting works through thermal shock therefore is non-abrasive so it won’t damage the wood leaving all beautiful markings unscathed.

From taper burn marks to Virgin Mary etches to even a faint remainder of a Daisy wheel.
Every Howes tells a story !
