1-Quotation only survey

This is a free survey for homeowners, builders, landlords etc who have identified a problem with dampness of timber decay. This survey is provided on an execution only basis and we will follow your instructions to provide a quotation to prevent any further dampness or timber decay. On completion of works we will provide a 20 year guarantee against the recurrence of dampness, woodworm or timber decay.

2-Pre-purchase, re-mortgage, equity release survey

Specialist dampness and timber surveys are often required as part of a lender's criteria before money is released as part of a mortgage or equity release scheme. Building Society surveyors often highlight the possibility of dampness and timber decay problems and will recommend that further specialist dampness and timber surveys are carried out.

There are many damp-proofing and timber treatment firms who undertake these surveys for no charge and invariably recommend work that is inappropriate and not necessary. We can save you thousands of pounds by avoiding unnecessary work and all the mess and disruption that comes with it. For a fee we can carry out in depth dampness and timber surveys and provide full written reports which will accurately identify any problem with dampness or timber decay and then recommend suitable treatment to rectify the defect together with a quotation for any work that may be required. If there is no problem with dampness or timber decay then we will provide a written report which will satisfy your lender about the integrity of your property with regard to dampness or timber decay.
