Damp and Timber Survey

A damp and timber survey is used to identify problems caused by moisture ingress, with a professional surveyor providing advice and recommendations for long term peace of mind.

Damp Proofing

Find out about the damp proofing methods required to protect your property from differing types of damp. No damp problem is the same, so expert diagnosis is key.

Rising Damp

Rising damp is less common than people realise, and is often misdiagnosed. It can affect properties without a functioning damp proof course, and has telltale signs used to identify the problem. .

Penetrating Damp

Often caused by porous brickwork or render, building defects or high ground levels, penetrating damp can cause severe problems if left untreated. It can affect walls and ceilings and is common in Scottish properties affected by wind driven rain.

Condensation

Condensation is the most common form of damp, affecting one in five properties in Scotland every year. It is caused by excess atmospheric moisture inside the property, leading to condensation forming on cold surfaces.

Black Mould

Black mould will form on damp surfaces and can cause damage to walls, surfaces and furniture. If left untreated it can cause health issues for occupants.
