Highly slick and professional from quote to finish. This process causes quite an upheaval but Rob & Bob made it as painless as possible, protecting the site and tidied up beautifully daily and at the end of the job. The finish was great & they meticulous advised next steps towards redecoration.

I highly recommend B&W Damp & Timber. Jocasta was professional, knowledgeable, and communicative throughout, ensuring everything was completed to the highest standard. Louis carried out the specialist damp treatment work with exceptional workmanship, punctuality, and attention to detail. What stood out most was how clean and tidy they kept my home, minimising disruption and leaving the work area spotless each day. Their professionalism, work ethic, respect for my property, and outstanding customer service were second to none. I would not hesitate to recommend Jocasta, Louis, and the entire B&W Damp & Timber team.

Fantastic service throughout from B&W, couldn’t be happier. The team were very knowledgeable regarding solutions to damp issues in my older property. The works were completed on time, took budget and the team who completed the work were great; punctual, helpful and always cleaned up after themselves. Couldn’t recommend B&W enough

Our Process

Call us and explain the problem

Tell us what you've noticed, from bubbling paint to a musty smell. We'll listen properly and help arrange the right next step for your property.

We carry out the right treatment

Once you're happy to go ahead, we complete the work with care and keep the area as tidy as possible. You get a property that's better protected and advice on what happens next.

Woodworm infestation damage caused to walls

A family business that looks past the obvious

Peeling wallpaper, cold walls, and that stale, damp smell can make your home feel like hard work. With B & W Damp & Timber Ltd, we bring three generations of know-how to properties across Bedfordshire and focus on finding the cause instead of covering it up. We've been doing this since 1966, and that experience matters when damp, timber decay, or mould keeps coming back after a quick fix. Our surveys and treatments are tailored to your building, so you get practical advice, modern systems, and work that makes sense for your property.

What we offer

Damp surveys

We inspect your property carefully, carry out moisture testing, and produce clear written reports. You get an accurate diagnosis before any work begins.

Damp treatments

We treat rising damp with proven systems, including damp-proof course installation. Replastering helps restore walls properly after treatment.

Condensation control

We assess and perform property inspection for ventilation, moisture build-up, and mould risks to tackle the real cause of condensation.

​

Woodworm surveys

If you suspect a case of woodworm in your property, call our team to complete a survey to check for infestation and plan correct treatment.

​

Woodworm treatments

​We identify active infestations, protect affected timbers, and carry out resin repairs or timber replacement where needed. Our approach helps prevent further damage.

Rot treatments

We trace the moisture source, remove damaged timber, carry out structural repairs, and treat affected areas to stop decay spreading.
