🚨 Is wood rot lurking in your home? 🚨

Wood rot is a silent destroyer, weakening structures from the inside out. Caused by persistent moisture, it can go unnoticed until serious damage occurs—especially in floors, decks, and windowsills. 👀💧

🔎 What to watch for:
✔ Soft, spongy wood
✔ Musty odours
✔ Discolouration or fungal growth

💡 A real-life example:
We once worked with an Airbnb owner who wanted advice on materials and finishes. At first glance, everything looked fine—but beneath the floorboards, we uncovered severe damp and rot. The damage was so extensive that we had to replace the entire floor and apply damp treatment to the surrounding walls. 🏚️🔨

The lesson? WOOD ROT ISN’T ALWAYS OBVIOUS. Even if a structure looks sound, moisture could be causing hidden damage. Regular inspections and moisture control are key to preventing costly repairs. ⚠️🔍

At Hartts Construction, we take a future-proof approach, removing suspended floors to tackle rising damp at its source—ensuring a long-term solution, not just a quick fix. 🏡✅

Screed is a thin layer of cement-based material applied over a subfloor to create a smooth, level surface before the final flooring is installed. It’s essential for ensuring stability, durability, and even heat distribution in homes and commercial spaces. 🔨💡

At Hartts Construction, we often use liquid screed in our projects, especially when installing underfloor heating. Unlike traditional sand and cement screed, liquid screed flows into place, creating an even finish with minimal shrinkage and faster drying times. 🔥🏠

Whether you're laying tiles, wood, or carpets, a high-quality screed ensures your flooring is built to last.

While they might sound similar, renovation and refurbishment have distinct meanings in construction!

Renovation: This involves significant changes to update or improve a space. Renovations often include structural work, like changing layouts, adding new rooms, or updating plumbing and electrical systems to modern standards.

Refurbishment: Refurbishment focuses on restoring or refreshing the existing elements of a space. Think of it as a makeover! It often includes cosmetic upgrades, like repainting, refinishing, and minor repairs, without major structural changes.

At Hartts Construction, we do both! Whether you’re looking for a full renovation or a simple refurbishment, we bring the expertise to make your vision a reality. 🏡✨
