While doing some wiring work in the garage of my son's bungalow I discovered that the ceiling joists (covered with plasterboard) have a pretty bad woodworm infestation. The garage is built on the side of the house - with the ceiling joists 'let' in to the side wall. However, because of the way that it is constructed, there is a link from the garage roof to the loft of the bungalow - so there is a real possibility that the infestation has spread into there, which we will have to check. The first task will be to remove the plasterboard from the garage ceiling and treat all the timbers. Anyone here got any experience of these matters who has any advice/suggestions?
