Understand the condition
before you buy.
A pre-purchase damp and timber survey provides an independent assessment of moisture-related defects together with visible evidence of timber decay and wood-destroying insects before you commit to buying a property.
The survey is particularly useful where dampness, timber deterioration, fungal decay, beetle activity or concealed moisture problems have been raised during a building survey, mortgage valuation or viewing.
We consider the relationship between the building fabric, moisture sources, ventilation, external defects and accessible timber elements, helping to distinguish between symptoms and the likely underlying causes.
DF Damp Consultancy is completely independent. We do not undertake damp-proofing treatments, timber treatments or remedial building works, so our findings are not influenced by the sale of subsequent work.
