COMMON DAMP AND TIMBER ISSUES WE IDENTIFY IN SHROPSHIRE
Across Shropshire we frequently diagnose condensation and mould in modernised homes, penetrating damp linked to building defects, and rising damp in older period properties. Timber decay including wet rot to floor and roof timbers, isolated dry rot and woodworm in historic structures is also encountered. Rural construction types often require particularly careful assessment.

SHROPSHIRE DAMP SURVEY FAQS
Do timber framed buildings in Shropshire need specialist inspection?
Often yes. Timber framed and historic buildings require careful assessment of moisture movement, ventilation and timber condition to avoid inappropriate remedial work.
Is mould in Shropshire homes usually caused by damp?
Not always. Many cases relate to condensation and lifestyle factors rather than building defects. Our surveys distinguish between the two.
When is an intrusive damp survey recommended in Shropshire?
Intrusive investigation may be advised where there is suspicion of hidden timber decay, concealed dampness or where purchase decisions depend on higher diagnostic certainty.
