As independent surveyors, we are unbiased and don’t have any financial interest in any works we recommend. This is an important aspect of our service, and one our clients value.
We are experts in the diagnosis of dampness and timber decay in buildings, which are a significant threat to the building fabric of buildings. If your property or the property that you are looking to purchase is in the North East and Cumbria region and you are looking for peace of mind, achieved through due diligence prior to taking ownership of a property or require a detailed specification for works, we can provide you with comprehensive reports that identify causes and potential causes of problems to ensure that they are dealt with and or prevented from occurring in the future, you can rely on our 25 years experience to ensure that you are in a position to make fully informed decisions.
Unfortunately many of our clients come to us after they have completed the purchase of a property, after they realise that thousands of pounds worth of damp-proofing and or floor repair works are needed. Sadly at this point they are responsible for all of the costs involved to remedy these problems not covered by home insurance policies.
The Benefits Of Using A Damp & Timber Survey Expert
- Comprehensive Surveys and detailed reports provided.
- We provide you with an estimate of costs for any works that we deem to be necessary.
- When you are aware of the issues affecting a property you can make an informed decision as to whether to proceed or not with a property purchase, negotiate the costs of the works and benefit from our advice on which works are required and which works are not!
The cost of not having a comprehensive damp and timber survey carried out is often greater than the cost of the survey. Our surveyors are also always happy to help and advise our customers with any concerns that they may have in the future. We provide our customers with free information on things like condensation and ventilation in properties, which is essential to maintain the health of your property.
We are committed to advising on cost effective, environmental friendly solutions and the best possible customer service backed up by decades of experience. We look forward to your enquiry and being of valued service to you.
Protect your Investment
Having remedial works carried out can be expensive, for example the cost of eradicating Dry Rot can easily amount to a five figure sum and if the cause or causes of the infection are not identified correctly at the outset it will continue to spread, resulting in further costs and disruption.
Rely on 25 years’ experience
There is no substitute for specialist training and experience and our surveyors have lots of it behind them. When conducting a damp and or timber inspection we always look to follow the trail, for example where there is a damp wall, any sub-floor timbers that are in direct contact with it are at risk from fungal decay and woodworm. Although we carry the best up to date diagnostic equipment, in some cases, for example where the cause of dampness is obscure, the use of trained eye is just as important.
