The cost of a damp and timber survey varies depending on the type and size of the property and what you’d like us to look at. When you get in touch, we’ll ask a few simple questions about the property and any specific concerns so we can understand how much time will be needed on site and for preparing your report.
A professional damp and timber survey provides you with independent, qualified advice, not a sales pitch. Many “free” damp surveys are carried out by companies whose main objective is to sell remedial treatments, which can sometimes lead to unnecessary or inappropriate recommendations.
As fully qualified and independent surveyors, our only aim is to identify the true source of any damp or timber issue. In many cases, problems are caused by defects such as poor ventilation, bridging, leaks, or maintenance issues and do not require chemical damp proof course injections or extensive remedial work.
By paying for an impartial survey, you receive honest findings, a clear written report, and practical recommendations based solely on what your property actually needs.
Remember, free advice is often worth exactly what you paid for it, nothing.
True rising damp does exist, but it is far less common than many people believe. Most properties were built with a damp proof course (DPC), and in the vast majority of cases these do not simply fail without a clear reason.
In our experience, many issues labelled as “rising damp” are often caused by condensation, minor leaks, ventilation issues, or defects in plasterwork. These problems can create similar symptoms but are usually far simpler and far less expensive to resolve than installing a new damp proof course.
A professional damp and timber survey ensures the true source of moisture is identified before any work is recommended. Accurate diagnosis is essential, as unnecessary treatments can be costly and avoidable.
We are completely independent damp and timber surveyors and do not carry out damp proofing or timber treatment works. This ensures our inspections and reports are entirely impartial, with no financial incentive to recommend unnecessary remedial work.
Our role is to identify the true cause of any damp or timber issue and provide clear, professional advice.
Many buyers are advised by their lender or mortgage provider to have a damp and timber survey carried out if there are concerns with the property. A professional survey gives you a thorough, independent inspection, identifying any current or potential issues and providing clear, practical recommendations. Our fully qualified surveyors produce an impartial, easy-to-understand report, giving you the confidence to make informed decisions before committing to a purchase.
