A Clear Diagnosis You Can Trust
Damp and timber issues can make any homeowner uneasy. Maybe you’ve spotted mould, damaged plaster, a musty smell or timber that doesn’t feel as solid as it should. Or perhaps a surveyor, estate agent, or builder has raised concerns, and you want a specialist opinion before committing to work.
Our surveys are designed to give you clarity. We identify the cause of the issue, explain what needs to be done, and provide a written report you can rely on, whether you’re already living in the property or planning to purchase it.
Do You Need a Damp or Timber Survey?
- You may benefit from a specialist inspection if you’ve noticed things like:
- Persistent condensation or musty smells
- Damp patches, peeling paint or bubbling plaster
- Timber that feels soft, bouncy or crumbling
- Unusual staining on walls or skirting boards
- Concerns raised by a Homebuyer’s Report
If something doesn’t look or feel right, an early diagnosis can save considerable cost later.

What Our Survey Includes
Every home is different, so we tailor our inspection to the symptoms you’re experiencing. However, a typical damp and timber survey includes:
Damp Investigation
We assess potential sources of moisture, including rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation. Moisture readings, damp mapping and visual inspection help us pinpoint the origin of the problem rather than just the symptoms.
Timber Assessment
We examine key structural timbers for signs of decay, woodworm, rot or excessive moisture. Sub-floor ventilation, joist condition and roof-space timbers are assessed where accessible.
Your Written Report
Within a short turnaround time, you’ll receive a clear, straightforward report explaining; what we found, the most likely cause, what needs to happen next, whether any repairs are urgent, practical, realistic recommendations. The goal is to give you confidence and a roadmap, not a sales pitch.
How the Process Works
No pressure. No pushy sales. Just honest, expert advice.
Step 1: Booking

Step 2: The Home Visit
