Comprehensive Damp and Timber Surveys
We highly recommend our clients opt for an in-depth invasive survey to uncover as much information as possible about potential damp issues. This thorough approach allows us to make accurate conclusions and provide effective solutions.
Proper ventilation in lofts and sub-floors is crucial to preventing damp-related issues. We know what to look for and how to identify risks, ensuring your home remains free from rot and other damp problems.
We understand that invasive surveys aren’t always possible. In such cases, we offer non-invasive surveys using our extensive knowledge and experience. This approach minimizes disruption and is ideal for properties on the market, where visible signs of testing are undesirable.
We provide a detailed written report outlining all issues and recommended remedial actions, allowing you to decide on the best course of action.
Regardless of the cause, we can identify the issue and advise on the necessary steps to rectify it. Surveys often include:
Sub-Floor Surveys: To detect hidden issues such as rot and woodworm.
Loft Inspections: To identify problems like condensation, rot, and woodworm, which often stem from poor ventilation.
Water Ingress Checks: Water ingress can lead to significant damp problems, originating from leaking roofs, faulty rainwater goods, failed pointing on brickwork
No matter the issues we can advise on it.
Let's discuss your needs and schedule a survey to address any damp concerns.
CONSULTANCY SERVICES
For those who prefer to carry out remedial work themselves.
We also offer a consultancy service for anyone who wants to either carry out remedial work themselves or have their own joiner builder plasterer etc do the work. Getting the remedial process right is crucial as not getting it right can lead to future issues. We detail what products to use and advise on the process of carrying out the work. We have some diy enthusiast, joiners, builders and plasterers take advantage of this service very often. They use our in-depth written report along with a sketch of the work areas with site visits and calls to get the work carried correctly and to the specification we detail in our timber and damp report. This can help keep costs down and have the work carried out faster as you may be mid-way through a refurb when you discover damp issues with tight deadlines meaning you can’t afford to wait on a specialist contractor.
