On site

What Happens During a Damp & Timber Survey?

Our site visits provide a thorough assessment using professional surveying equipment and investigative techniques. Depending on access and the inspection authorised, your survey may include:

• Drone InspectionUsed to inspect roofs, chimneys and high-level areas where access or visibility is limited.
• Humidity TestingMeasures humidity, temperature and environmental conditions to assess ventilation and condensation risk.
• Professional Moisture TestingProtimeter MMS3 equipment is used to identify moisture patterns and investigate the likely source of dampness.
• Sub-Floor InvestigationsAccessible floorboards and supporting timbers can be inspected for decay, wood-boring insects, moisture and poor ventilation.
• Thermal ImagingHelps identify cold bridging, insulation deficiencies, condensation risk and possible moisture-related defects.

These methods help us understand what is happening within the property rather than relying solely on visible surface signs.

What you receive

Professional Damp Reports for Mansfield Properties

Once the inspection is complete, we will prepare a written report explaining the conditions found within the property.

It will identify the areas inspected, record the relevant evidence and explain the probable cause of any damp, mould or moisture. Recommendations will be included where further investigation or action should be considered.

Our reports are written in plain English and can be shared with property owners, landlords, estate agents, surveyors, mortgage advisers and other relevant professionals.
