Services
Damp Proofing
Specialist damp proofing assessments identify rising damp causes and recommend appropriate treatments. Our surveys evaluate building materials, construction methods, and environmental factors to determine optimal solutions. Reports include testing results and remediation options that preserve structural integrity while avoiding unnecessary chemical treatments.
Timber Preservation
Comprehensive timber condition surveys detect fungal decay and insect infestations. We assess dry rot, wet rot, and wood-boring beetle activity in structural timbers. Our reports specify targeted preservation treatments and repair strategies that maintain original building features while ensuring long-term stability.
Waterproofing Reports
Structural waterproofing assessments for basement conversions and new builds. We evaluate below-ground water management systems and recommend appropriate Type A, B, or C protection methods. Reports consider site-specific conditions and building usage requirements to ensure effective long-term solutions.
Condensation Control
Specialist condensation surveys identify causes of excess moisture in buildings. We assess ventilation systems, thermal performance, and occupant lifestyle factors to recommend practical control measures that prevent mould growth and fabric damage without invasive treatments.
Wall Tie Surveys
Comprehensive wall tie inspections identify corrosion and failure in cavity wall constructions. Our assessments use electronic moisture readings and endoscopic examinations to determine replacement requirements. Reports include remediation specifications that restore structural integrity while minimising disruption to building fabric.
