A timber survey is often referred to as a damp and timber survey, and is typically carried out by a PCA accredited surveyor who will assess the condition of structural and decorative timber within a building.

Across Edinburgh many properties suffer from timber decay due to damp issues, making it essential to fully investigate the outside and inside of a property to find any sources of moisture.

The surveyor will then provide you with a comprehensive damp and timber report detailing their findings with recommendations, if required.

If treatments are required this will be outlined in the survey report, along with details of any long term guarantee, if applicable.

Are you concerned about a potential wet rot or dry rot problem affecting your property?

Fungal decay is one of the most destructive types of timber decay, affecting many properties across Edinburgh every year.

Whether it's dry rot or wet rot, fungal decay requires the presence of moisture for spores to germinate. Once these start to form they will consume timber, causing it to lose its structural integrity.

Our qualified surveyor will take time to identify signs of fungal decay including cracked timber, musty smells, fruiting bodies and fungal strands.

They will determine the type of fungal decay affecting your property, and provide you with their findings in a survey report, along with recommendations on how to repair the damage.

You will then receive a detailed report with recommendations for treatments, if required.

All treatments carried out by Wise Property Care are targeted to eradicate the full outbreak, remove the source of moisture and protect your property long term.

Wise Property Care can provide expert treatments for both wet rot and dry rot, protecting your property long term.

Once we have assessed the extent of the issue through our survey process, we will then carry out targeted treatments, if required.

Because dry rot is capable of spreading away from the source of moisture in order to find more timber to attack, the treatment process differs between the two types of fungal decay.

Dry rot and wet rot are typically caused by damp issues, and are commonly found in hard to reach areas where there is a lack of ventilation. This is why it's important to thoroughly investigate before carrying out treatments.

Treatments will always require stopping the source of moisture, and will involve cutting back and replacing decayed timber and possibly chemical treatments.

At Wise Property Care, our goal is to restore your property and prevent future issues. We aim to complete each project to the highest standard with minimal disruption, giving you confidence your property is protected long term.

Our surveyors have vast experience dealing with woodworm issues across the city, dealing with the problems that cause woodworm outbreaks and protecting your property long term.

The surveyor will undertake a detailed inspection of the property, identifying the beetle species involved, confirm whether the infestation is active and assess any structural damage to the timbers.

You will then receive a detailed survey report which outlines their findings, backed with photographic evidence where relevant and with recommendations for treatments, if required.

If an active woodworm infestation is found, technicians from Wise Property Care can carry out professional woodworm treatments, typically backed by long term guarantees.

If left, an active woodworm infestation can cause significant damage to timbers, so its best to deal with the problem as soon as possible.

Often woodworm infestations are caused by other related issues such as a lack of ventilation or damp problems which may need to be addressed.

If timber has been weakened and is no longer structurally sound, we will recommend replacing the affected sections alongside insecticidal chemical treatments.

This will eliminate larvae and prevent further infestation, giving you peace of mind that your property is protected.

Because of the varying age of the housing stock across Edinburgh, many homes and businesses with original structural timber could be vulnerable to woodworm infestations, and we will take care to retain as much of the original timber as possible.
