🍄 Beautiful? Maybe. Harmless? Definitely not.

This glistening growth is active dry rot fungus, uncovered at a property this week.

Dry rot often develops out of sight—beneath floors, behind wall linings and inside enclosed spaces—where it can attack timber and cause serious damage before the homeowner realises there is a problem.

And despite its name, dry rot needs moisture to thrive. Successful treatment means finding and fixing that moisture source, exposing the full outbreak and properly treating or replacing affected timber.

Spotted unusual fungal growth, rust-coloured dust, cracked timber or noticed a persistent mushroom-like smell?

Don’t ignore it—have it investigated.

Project Spotlight – St Andrews

We recently completed a ceiling repair project in a busy solicitors’ office in St Andrews.

Behind what looked like a sturdy plaster ceiling was separation between the timber lath and plaster — the sort of problem that can’t be ignored in a professional building. Thankfully, the ceiling collapsed over a weekend when the office was empty or it could have caused serious injury to a member of staff.

To keep the office fully operational during the week, our team carried out the work over the weekend, carefully dismantling the ceiling, repairing the timber frame, and reinstating everything ready for the working week.

The result is a safe and fully restored ceiling — with minimal disruption to the business using the space.

At Hampton Timber Specialists, we understand that when we work in offices, schools and commercial buildings, downtime isn’t an option.
