Hello, I recently replaced my rotted timber ground floor in our lounge with an insulated beam and pot solid construction. The original skirting boards were a casualty of this process. In looking to replace them I wanted to use softwood skirting boards pre-treated by preservative under pressure (Vac Vac or Tanalith). I was told by our contractor that this was not possible as only structural timbers can be treated in this way. Some of the skirting boards need to be fixed to a north facing wall that is prone to condensation, particularly during the winter months, so untreated timbers in this location would be vulnerable. Do any contributors know where wrought timbers can be treated with preservative by pressure impregnation? I live in the West Midlands. Many thanks.
