At The Damp Specialist Company, we provide professional damp and timber surveys for homeowners, landlords, and buyers. Our focus is on accurate assessment, using advanced equipment to deliver independent reports that identify the true causes of damp and timber decay, with clear recommendations you can trust.
Why Book a Damp & Timber Survey?
A combined damp and timber survey provides a complete picture of your property’s condition. It covers common issues such as:
- Rising damp from ground water
- Penetrating damp from rainfall or defects
- Condensation and mould from poor ventilation
- Timber decay caused by excess moisture
- Woodworm infestation in vulnerable timbers
Our Surveying Approach
We use a structured first principles method, examining both damp and timber elements to ensure nothing is overlooked. By focusing on cause, not just effect, we help clients avoid costly or unnecessary treatments.
Equipment Used in Damp & Timber Surveys
Our surveyors use advanced tools to carry out a full assessment, including:
- Moisture meters
- Thermal imaging cameras
- Hygrometers
- Endoscopic cameras
This ensures accuracy when diagnosing damp and assessing the condition of timber structures.
Detailed Reporting
Each survey comes with a plain-English report that includes findings, photographs, and conclusions. We explain the type of damp, the state of timber, and provide recommendations tailored to your property.
Damp & Timber Survey Cost
A damp and timber survey is priced at £350 for a standard three-bedroom semi-detached property. All prices exclude VAT. This investment helps protect both your property’s structure and long-term value.
