Timber and Damp Surveys

If you have noticed damp patches on walls, peeling paint or wallpaper, musty odours, or signs of decaying timber, a professional timber and damp survey is the best place to start. Damp and timber problems can affect the condition of a property if left untreated, and identifying the cause early is essential to preventing further deterioration. A specialist survey helps determine whether issues such as rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, timber decay, or insect attack are present and ensures that the most appropriate remedial solution can be recommended.

During a Timberwise timber and damp survey, an experienced specialist will carry out a thorough inspection of the affected areas of the property. The surveyor will assess visible signs of dampness, measure moisture levels, and examine structural timbers such as floor joists, roof timbers and other vulnerable areas. The inspection may also involve investigating potential sources of moisture ingress and identifying conditions that may contribute to timber decay or damp-related problems within the building.

Following the inspection, you will receive a detailed timber and damp report outlining the survey findings along with clear professional recommendations. The purpose of the survey is not only to identify any existing issues but also to determine their underlying cause, whether that relates to moisture ingress, poor ventilation, building defects, or timber deterioration. By diagnosing the problem accurately, the correct treatments and repairs can be recommended to protect the long-term condition of the property. 

Timberwise timber and damp surveys are available for both domestic and commercial properties, providing property owners, landlords, homebuyers and businesses with expert guidance when concerns arise about dampness or timber condition. Booking a specialist survey provides reassurance through a professional assessment and a clear report to help you understand the condition of the property and the steps needed to address any issues identified.
