Frequently Asked Questions

Damp and Timber Survey Questions Answered

What does a damp and timber survey include?
A full inspection of walls, floors and accessible timbers for rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, dry rot, wet rot and woodworm, with moisture readings throughout. You get a written report of the findings and our recommendations.
How long does a survey take?
Most domestic surveys take one to two hours depending on the size of the property and how accessible the roof space and subfloors are.
How much does a damp and timber survey cost?
Call us on 07835 023174 and we will give you a straight answer for your property. Any treatment we recommend afterwards is quoted in writing with no obligation.
Who carries out the survey?
Our surveyor, who has over 20 years experience inspecting damp and timber problems in properties across the North Coast and Donegal. You get an experienced set of eyes, not a salesman with a checklist.
When will I get the report?
We talk you through the findings on the day and follow up with the written report shortly afterwards, so you can make decisions with everything in front of you.
Should I get a survey before buying a house?
Yes, especially for older properties. A damp and timber survey before you commit can uncover problems a general valuation will not, and the cost is small compared to discovering dry rot after you have moved in.
My mortgage lender asked for a damp and timber report. Is this what you do?
Yes. Lenders and surveyors regularly request a specialist damp and timber report before releasing funds, and our written reports are prepared for exactly that use.
How is this different from a homebuyer survey?
A homebuyer survey looks at the whole property in general terms. A damp and timber survey is a specialist inspection that goes deeper on moisture and timber defects, the two problem areas that cause the most expensive repairs.
Do I need to prepare anything before the survey?
Clear access helps, particularly to the loft hatch, under-stair cupboards and any rooms where you have noticed problems. If floor coverings can be lifted in suspect areas we can inspect more thoroughly.
Am I obliged to use you for any treatment the survey finds?
No. The report is yours and the findings stand on their own. Most customers do ask us to quote because we are local and guarantee our specialist treatments, but there is no obligation.
