🪵 Termite Damage Repairs

Repairing the Damage Properly: Not Just Covering It Up

Termite damage isn’t always obvious, and when it is, it’s often already structural.
The real risk isn’t just the termites themselves, but what they leave behind.

At Under One Roof, termite damage repairs are handled personally by me, Alastair.
With over 30 years’ experience in construction, combined with years working hands-on as a licensed pest technician, I understand both how termites damage buildings and how to repair that damage correctly.

That means repairs are carried out with structural integrity in mind, not quick patch-ups.

Why Termite Repairs Need the Right Experience

Termite damage is often hidden inside:

  • Wall frames

  • Subfloors and bearers

  • Roof timbers

  • Door and window frames

  • Decking and external structures

Repairing termite damage properly requires more than replacing timber, it requires understanding:

  • Load-bearing elements

  • Structural connections

  • Moisture conditions

  • Whether damage is cosmetic or structural

That’s where construction experience matters.

What I Repair

Termite damage repairs may include:

  • Replacement of termite-damaged framing and structural timbers

  • Subfloor bearer and joist repairs

  • Wall, ceiling, and plasterboard restoration

  • Skirting boards, architraves, and trims

  • Door and window frame replacement

  • Decking, stairs, and external timber repairs

  • Structural strengthening where required

Every repair is assessed carefully so you know exactly what’s required and why.

One Clear Process, No Handovers

Because I handle inspections, termite advice, and repairs, there’s no disconnect between what’s reported and what’s fixed.

The process is straightforward:

  1. Confirm termite activity has been treated or managed

  2. Assess the extent of structural and cosmetic damage

  3. Explain what needs repair vs what can be monitored

  4. Carry out repairs correctly and safely

No conflicting advice.
No unnecessary work.
No passing the job between trades.

One inspector. One builder. One accountable outcome.

Honest Advice Comes First

Not all termite damage requires immediate repair.
Not all damage is structural.

I’ll clearly explain:

  • What must be repaired now

  • What can be monitored

  • What’s preventative vs essential

My role is to help you protect your home long-term, not to upsell repairs that aren’t required.
