Victorian floors are more than just wooden boards. They are slices of London's architectural history, laid by craftsmen over a century ago. Each nail hole, each weathered plank, each subtle dip tells a story. But these beautiful old floors share one common vulnerability: woodworm.

If you own a Victorian property or are renovating one, you already know that original floorboards require specialist care. They are typically softer pine, which beetles love. Over decades, even minor infestations can turn structural timbers into dust. That is why woodworm prevention is not an optional extra when working with period floors—it is essential.

That is also why we are making it free.

The Offer

For a limited time, any customer who books a Victorian floor restoration with us will receive complete woodworm prevention treatment at no additional cost. This service is normally priced from £300, depending on the size of the area.

What Is Included

Our woodworm prevention treatment includes:

• A full inspection of the floorboards to identify any existing infestation
• Application of professional-grade, low-odour treatment that penetrates deep into the timber
• Protection against common wood-boring beetles, including Common Furniture Beetle and Deathwatch Beetle
• A long-term guarantee for your peace of mind
• We apply the treatment during the restoration process, meaning no extra disruption, no second visit, and no hidden fees. Your floor is sanded, treated, and finished in one seamless workflow.

Why This Matters for Victorian Floors

Victorian pine is soft, resinous, and historically vulnerable to woodworm. Even if you see no visible holes, eggs can lie dormant beneath the surface for years. Central heating creates the perfect environment for beetles to thrive—warm, dry conditions that encourage hatching.

Treating your floor during restoration is the smartest approach. The sanding process opens the wood grain, allowing the treatment to penetrate more deeply than if applied separately. You get better protection at zero extra cost.

Who Is This For

This offer applies to:

• Owners of Victorian terraced houses anywhere in London
• Landlords renovating period conversion flats
• Property developers working on Victorian buildings
• Anyone with original pine floorboards who wants to protect them for the next century

The offer excludes engineered wood, modern softwood installations, and floors that already have severe active rot requiring full board replacement.
