We removed a horrible gas fire thing on the chimney breast, couple of bits of timber and a sheet of plasterboard to hide the tv bracket and wires and boxed the hole up with ply, then my dad plastered it all up, still to hide the wires at the back and the one wire we forgot
Thanks for the reply, like i said theres no white power right along the beam at all and its a long beam dont think theres enough to warrant replacing it and im sure the home report would have highlighted this as a major if it was, actually just read up about the cuprinal 5 star and the data...
nothing at all dont think any of the previous owners gave a toss about the loft out of sight out of mind! was a dumping ground when we got it and doesnt look as if its got any treatment on it might just give it all a spray myself as the better weather comes in and just keep an eye on it
ment to add had a good look at it specifically looking for any white seen that somewhere online and couldnt see anything like that , it only appears to be on a couple of beams
Dont want to hijack your thread m0t, but was just about to ask questions about my own woodworm and thought id keep it together.
When we bought the house the home report picked up on it and said not unusual for a house this age , we also had a leak fixed that looked as if it had been botched...
something like this:

dont think mine was that dear 35 quid on ebay would be good for the big flat bits, believe me when u have a big flat bmw bonnet to polish up its a far better way than by hand ;)...
if there is enough material on it DA with softpad and 1500 discs then buzz over with a wet 3000 will save you alot of time, thats the way we used to do it on cars the last place i worked, guy i worked for liked everything totally flat no orange peel at all
just watched that video above lol...
