Termites and what to do next….

If you have discovered or suspect termites in your home or property, the first thing to do is give us a call and whatever you do, DO NOT DISTURB THEM. It is imperative that they carry on with their usual routine. This will allow for effective inspection, observation and treatment. If another chemical has been used or other invasive activity, it will be unlikely they will remain in the immediate area, making near on impossible to establish an effective treatment method or result.

Once a full inspection has been carried out on site your Viking tech will advise on their findings and talk through any possible issues and recommendations. Within 24hrs you will receive a thorough report expressing the findings of the inspection, best recommended form of action and a quotation for works to be carried out. This gives you piece of mind that help is at hand and it won;t cost you the earth.

We focus on long term solutions and protection for your biggest investment, your home.
