Services
Damp Surveys
Our damp surveys identify rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation issues through thorough inspections. We use moisture meters and visual analysis to diagnose causes, including defective damp-proof courses or poor ventilation. Reports include photographic evidence and remediation strategies to prevent structural damage and health risks from mould.
Timber Decay Assessments
We assess timber for fungal decay and insect infestations like woodworm. Our surveys determine moisture levels, structural risks, and treatment options, such as preservative treatments or timber replacement. Findings are documented with photographs and recommendations to restore structural integrity and prevent further decay.
Pre-Purchase Surveys
Pre-purchase surveys evaluate properties for damp, timber defects, and sprayed foam issues. Our PCA-compliant reports highlight risks affecting value or mortgage eligibility. Clients receive clear guidance on necessary repairs and costs, ensuring informed decisions before completing property transactions.
Sprayed Foam Evaluations
We inspect sprayed foam insulation for installation quality, moisture trapping, and structural risks. Our PCA-protocol surveys identify ventilation issues, timber decay, or condensation risks. Reports assist homeowners with mortgage applications or sales by providing lender-accepted documentation on foam condition and remediation needs.
Waterproofing Reports
Waterproofing surveys address persistent damp by recommending solutions like cavity drainage systems or external groundworks. We assess existing defects, propose cost-effective treatments, and ensure compliance with building regulations to protect properties from future water ingress and structural damage.
