27 Jan 2011 Woodworm

I was asked to take a look at a woodworm problem this week. The woodworm had been highlighted in a building survey carried out as part of a house purchase. The new owner enthusiastically told me it was lurking in the front bedroom and was also attacking the bedroom door. I entered the room with due caution. Before I could adjust my eyes to the dimly lit room a finger was pointing towards the bedroom door: ‘there it is!’ I stared at the bedroom door moving my head slowly from left to right as I examined the evidence. The homeowner looked puzzled while I continued to gaze at the door for several seconds. ‘Is everything alright?’ he asked. ‘Yes’ I replied ‘but this isn’t woodworm’. I proceeded to point out the unusual circular pattern of holes on the door. ‘This is a case of someone missing the dartboard!’ The large number of holes towards the top of the door suggested double top had proved particularly challenging.
