Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Bedworth

Bedworth's older housing was built for the Warwickshire coalfield — long terraced rows with solid walls and no damp-proof course, sitting alongside large post-war estates with a very different set of condensation problems.

We survey around the town centre, Exhall, Goodyers End and Bulkington. In the terraces we commonly find raised pavements and yards above internal floor level; on the estates the issue is almost always insufficient heating and extract ventilation producing widespread mould.
