Hillcrest Timber Preservation Ltd

Hillcrest Timber Preservation treats rising damp, dry rot and woodworm in residential and commercial properties, including listed and historic buildings. It arranges an inspection before preparing a report and quotation for damp treatment.

For rising damp, its surveyors check for other causes of damp and signs of timber decay. Treatment can include a chemical damp-proof course and replacement of defective plaster. Dry rot work involves identifying the extent of decay and its moisture source before infected material is removed and treated.

The family business was started in the early 1960s by chairman Michael Lewis and is now in its second generation, with Jonathon and Daniel working in the business. Its surveyors and technicians have over sixty years of collective surveying experience. The company states guarantees of ten or thirty years for rising damp treatment, ten years for dry rot and thirty years for woodworm.
