Damp & Timber
Damp and Timber Survey in Kent
Damp and timber problems are so closely linked that it rarely makes sense to look at one without the other. Persistent moisture eventually threatens structural timber, and hidden timber defects often reveal underlying damp issues. A combined damp and timber survey looks at both, in one visit, in one report.
What Your Survey Includes
- Full damp inspection with Protimeter and thermal imaging
- Structural timber assessment — floors, roof void, wall plates, joinery
- Wet rot, dry rot and woodworm identification
- Combined written report covering both moisture and timber findings
- Prioritised recommendations for the whole property, not just one defect
Common Problems We Find
- Wet rot in ground-floor joists behind bathroom or kitchen leaks
- Dry rot in roof voids where slates have slipped or valleys leak
- Woodworm activity in ex-local-authority and older properties
- Damp-affected timber lintels and window frames
