Damp and Timber consultancy

A consultant damp timber and basement waterproofing specialist you can trust


Damp, timber and waterproofing consultancy service

Few damp proofing specialists have the real in-depth expertise we have. Recognising this and after many requests, we are delighted to offer our Consultant survey services.

This service is  designed to offer clients all the benefit of our damp, timber and waterproofing advice, without the prospect of using our installation or treatment service.

There are times when clients just need answers and using a company who wish to quote for any remedial work may not suit their needs. Perhaps there is a dispute between vendor and buyer; landlord and tenant or a party wall is involved. It may be the problem has proved insurmountable and previous surveyors have either been unable to find the answer or disagree with each other…

Our consultancy service meets these needs, by offering our equipment, knowledge and experience at a fixed price for the survey and diagnosis only – even if specialist work is required we would not expect to quote for this. However, we will assist in finding a reliable contractor of your choice if you wish. if an Architect, Structural Engineer or building surveyor is needed, we can help point you in the right direction.

The service is quite separate from our commercial activity and whilst this comes at a premium over our normal survey fees, it means that clients get full access to our knowledge; no strings attached.

What is available?

First of all the 30 years plus experience of our principle surveyor Bryan Hindle CSRT CSSW, he carries out all consultant surveys and is a pefectionist when it comes to diagnosis and making sure clients get the best advice possible.

Secondly; Our range of the latest diagnostic equipment including humidity/temperature data logging, digital micro-probe for in-depth analysis of structural timbers; Endoscopic photography and video equipment for void inspection; Advanced Moisture Measurement System; our gravimetric testing lab for precise moisture measurement including hygroscopic and capillary moisture separation; Salts identification and quantification and our suite of data modelling software for diagnosis and targeting of the right solutions…. Plus much more.
