WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Small clues can point to a bigger problem.
Termites can work out of sight, so damage may only become obvious later. These signs can have other causes too; a site inspection helps identify what is happening before a treatment is recommended.
Timber that sounds hollow or feels weakened
Paint or the outer surface can look intact while timber beneath has been damaged.
Discarded wings near windows or doors
Swarmer wings can appear after a termite flight, often near lights or entry points.
Blistering paint or unusual timber marks
Moisture and other issues can look similar, so it is best to have suspicious areas checked.

KNOW THE RISK
Subterranean termites may stay hidden.
Subterranean termites live in colonies connected to soil and can reach timber through concealed routes. They may affect structural timber, door frames, skirtings, cupboards, roof components and other wood in or around a building. Finding a tube or damaged area does not show the full extent of activity; a professional inspection can check likely entry points and affected areas.

Ask us on WhatsApp ↗Can termites damage a house?
Some termites feed on cellulose materials, including timber. If you notice possible signs, arrange an inspection so the affected areas and suitable next steps can be assessed.
Do you treat existing homes as well as new buildings?
Yes. We offer inspections and treatment options for existing buildings, foundation areas and pre-construction sites. The method depends on the structure and site conditions.
Should I remove a mud tube before the inspection?
If possible, leave the sign in place until it has been checked. Take a photo and note where you found it. If it has already been disturbed, let the technician know.
How long does termite treatment last?
Protection depends on the treatment, treated areas, building conditions and later site changes. We’ll explain the expected coverage and any applicable guarantee terms in the written scope.
Is there a guarantee?
Where a five-year guarantee applies, it covers only the treated and documented foundation or building footprint described in the treatment terms. It does not cover gardens, lawns, trees, open soil, untreated structures, untreated areas or other pests. Ask us to confirm the terms for your quotation.
What information should I send for a quote?
Send your town or location, a short description of the signs and a clear photo if available. For a new build, include the construction stage and site contact details.
