Pre-Purchase Damp and Timber Survey

Pre-Purchase Damp and Timber Survey

Dependent on your instructions and requirements the survey will vary. A pre-purchase damp and timber survey will always be limited by fixed articles, tiles, laminate flooring or dry lining but typically its contents will include:

  • Inspection for Rising Damp and Penetrating Damp.
  • Inspect the wooden floors for rot and beetle infestation.
  • Visual inspection of the roof coverings and rainwater goods.
  • Inspect the property for signs of any condensation related issues.
  • Assess the existing ventilation strategy in the property, such as checking the right type fans are fitted.
  • General condition of the building.
RICS Damp Survey

The most crucial component of any damp and timber survey is whether access is possible within the home; surveys are usually limited by things like dry lining, laminate floor coverings, carpets, kitchen units, and furniture, among other things.

We do, however, employ a variety of surveying tools such as small cameras, endoscopes, ladders, dual mode moisture meters, and even mirrors to observe as much of a property as possible during a survey.

Condensation Mould Survey

Our surveyor will investigate the source of condensation within your property and explore the suitable long term solution. The results and feedback will be provided in a full written report, along with recommendations and details of the cost.
