If damp, mould or timber decay is affecting a property in Cheshire, our independent surveys provide clear, evidence led diagnosis. We assess rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation and woodworm across a wide range of residential, commercial and heritage buildings.
DAMP AND TIMBER SURVEYS IN CHESHIRE

A Level 2 or Level 3 survey flags damp concerns
You notice mould, staining or musty odours
Timber floors feel spongy or show signs of decay

Damp surveys are designed to distinguish between condensation, penetrating damp and other moisture mechanisms, ensuring the correct remedial approach is identified.

CHESHIRE DAMP SURVEY FAQS
Are newer homes in Cheshire at risk of condensation?
They can be. Well insulated and sealed homes sometimes experience condensation if ventilation is insufficient or occupancy levels are high. The issue is often environmental rather than structural.
Is rising damp still found in Cheshire properties?
True rising damp is less common than often assumed, but it can occur in older buildings where damp proof courses are absent, bridged or compromised. Proper investigation is essential before treatment.
Do you survey high value and period homes in Cheshire?
Yes. We regularly inspect executive housing, period properties and listed buildings across Cheshire, providing clear and independent damp and timber advice.
