Surveys
Damp & Timber Surveys
A combined survey covering both moisture problems and the condition of any exposed or accessible timber: useful wherever damp and timber decay risk are likely to be linked.
Why damp and timber are assessed together
Persistent damp is one of the main conditions that allows wet rot, dry rot and woodworm to establish in a property, so wherever there's a live damp problem, it's worth checking whether nearby timber has already been affected. A combined survey covers both in a single visit, rather than needing two separate appointments.
Common signs to look out for
A known damp problem near skirting, floor joists or roof timbers
Soft or discoloured timber near an affected wall
Older solid-wall or traditional-construction property
Pre-purchase surveys flagging both damp and timber concerns
Loft or sub-floor timber with limited ventilation
A previous damp issue that was resolved but timber wasn't checked
How We Help
What the combined survey covers
Both elements are assessed by the same surveyor in one visit, with one combined written report at the end.
- Full damp survey: moisture readings, visual inspection, cause identification
- Inspection of accessible structural and decorative timber
- Identification of any decay or infestation, and its likely cause
- One combined report covering both findings and recommendations
What our customers say
“Very methodical. Outside of the house was checked as thoroughly as inside, which sounds obvious but the previous person we'd had round hadn't done that. They found defective pointing and an issue around the rainwater pipe that lined up almost exactly with the damp internally.”
Ian · Knaresborough
“From the first call it felt professional. The chap who attended was friendly, took plenty of readings and didn't rush. Most importantly, he explained why the damp was happening rather than just telling us what product he wanted to put on the wall.”
Laura · Moortown, Leeds
