Independent damp and timber specialists.
Qualified surveyors and remedial teams trusted by homeowners, landlords and property professionals.

We stop the rot
- Identify Problems Early
- Expert Damp & Timber Surveys
- Effective Treatments
- PCA Registered Experts
We diagnose the cause, not just the symptom
Most damp problems are misdiagnosed because the symptom is treated instead of the mechanism. A failed gutter, a bridged damp proof course and a cold, poorly ventilated room can all leave the same stain on a wall.
We survey first, profile the moisture, inspect the timber and only then specify remedial work. That means smaller, more targeted jobs and no unnecessary chemical injection.
- Qualified damp and timber surveyors
- Independent, fee-based diagnosis
- Our own remedial teams, no subcontractors
- Insurance-backed guarantees available
