A loft timber survey is a specialist inspection that checks the condition of the loft space and roof timbers. For signs of damp, condensation, woodworm and fungal decay. Loft areas are often rarely inspected properly, but they can reveal hidden issues that may affect the condition of the property over time.
During the survey, we inspect accessible roof timbers for signs fungal decay, and woodboring insects. We also look for evidence of roof leaks, rainwater ingress, excess condensation, and poor ventilation. Which can all lead to timber decay if left untreated. Where insulation is present, we assess its condition and installation to identify problems that may be contributing to moisture build-up or poor airflow within the loft space.
Moisture readings can be taken from affected timbers to help assess whether conditions are suitable for rot or woodworm activity. Our loft inspections provide clear findings, photographs, and practical recommendations. So you can understand the condition of the loft and any issues that may require attention.
A loft timber survey can be especially useful when buying a property as part of a pre-purchase damp and timber survey, helping identify hidden defects before you commit to the purchase.
A loft survey is a detailed inspection carried out by a fully qualified, independent damp surveyor to assess the condition of the roof space and identify any signs of damp, timber decay, or related defects. Because we are independent, the report is completely impartial and focused only on the true condition of the property.
We assess roof timbers for signs of fungal decay such as wet rot and dry rot, check for woodworm activity and timber damage, and investigate common causes of moisture problems including condensation and poor ventilation. The inspection also covers leaking roofs and rainwater ingress, as well as the condition and installation of insulation, which can often contribute to trapped moisture or hidden issues.
The aim of the survey is to provide a clear understanding of the loft’s condition, highlight any existing or developing problems
