COMMON DAMP AND TIMBER ISSUES WE IDENTIFY IN NORTH WALES
In North Wales we commonly investigate penetrating damp driven by coastal exposure and wind driven rain, condensation in modernised homes, and rising damp in older solid wall properties. Timber defects including wet rot in exposed roof structures, dry rot in poorly ventilated voids and woodworm activity in traditional joinery are also regularly assessed. Accurate diagnosis is particularly important in exposed coastal and rural locations.

NORTH WALES DAMP SURVEY FAQS
Does coastal exposure increase damp risk in North Wales?
Yes. Wind driven rain in coastal areas such as Llandudno and Conwy can increase the likelihood of penetrating damp, particularly where external maintenance is poor or walls are highly exposed.
Are stone cottages in North Wales prone to moisture problems?
Traditional solid wall buildings can behave very differently from modern cavity construction. Breathability, pointing materials and ventilation all influence moisture performance.
Can you inspect holiday lets and second homes in North Wales?
Yes. We regularly survey holiday accommodation and second homes where intermittent heating and occupation can contribute to condensation and mould risk.
