Wood Preservative for Floor Joists

[Ferdinand]

Since I am taking up all the floors at the Little Brown Bungalow, I want to do all the joists etc with wood protector (wet rot, dry fot, insect), just in case.

 

I think last time i used Cuprinol 5 Star treatment from Screwfix. I see this morning Wickes have a Ronseal product at an eyewatering £35 for 5 litres, though 3 for 2 and discount brings it down to about £21.

 

Does anyone know a good product and source for this? Very roughly how much I would need for the structure for a floor area of 60 sqm eg 10 litres or 30 litres?

Cheers

I've been using that Evebuild Triple Action Wood Treatment. About £20/5L in Toolstation but cheaper online.

This one is now decided.

 

After conversations with the guys, I have bought 4x 5l cans of Cuprinol 5 Star Complete Wood Treatment via Amazon for £13 each.

 

 A very low price but they seem to check out. WIll confirm in a couple of days.

This is the point at which I admit to being a nincompoop.

 

I ordered from the Amazon page below when rushing, looking at the big picture of the 5l can not the "1 litre" in the text, and this morning received a surprisingly small parcel which will be going straight back. This is why bikini models work at car shows.

 

I will be going for the Wickes one mentioned above at £21 each.

I've been to many car shows and never bought a new  car, so I guess not. What am I doing wrong!?

It's possible.
