You need a woodworm specialist urgently and then a flooring specialist to replace any joist and floor areas. Sounds expensive but most likely can be sorted relatively cost effectively and with the right treatment permanently.

Hi Adam. Sadly, this could be major! Woodworm live in timbers for years, if you've put your thumb through! It's pretty major. Think of what a heavy object would do!! Get specialists in to asses the condition, but by the sounds it's all new floors, joists possible.
