We provide specialist damp surveys and reports for traditional property owners (and prospective owners), surveyors, mortgage providers, landlords, tenants with recommendations for remedial work.
Qualified to Post Graduate level in Conservation Of The Historic Environment (Birmingham City University) our reports allow you to maintain your house or building correctly and cost effectively without the need for petro-chemicals. Our advice is goverened by British Standard 7913:2013
Your traditional, solid wall, (pre 1930's) property is only damp through lack of correct maintenance, raised ground levels and in some cases the application of damp proofing chemicals by members of the PCA (Property Care Association) or inappropriate property development (tanking, rendering, modern insulation).
Modern surveyors and builders do NOT understand the principle of "allowing buildings to breath" , or the use of traditional building materials and techniques.
Our surveys and reports are guaranteed for the life of the property, not just 10, 15 or 25 years.
If a RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) surveyor finds rising damp and advises you to use a PCA (Property Care Association) member for damp and timber treatment don't!. They are only qualified (3 day course) in chemicals and cover up solutions. You will be wasting £1000's and you don't need their methods anyway.
What you need is qualified advice
