Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Brierley Hill
Brierley Hill ranges from steep terraced streets to blocks of flats and modern development around Merry Hill. Flats in particular generate condensation complaints where communal ventilation was never maintained.
We survey around the High Street, Quarry Bank, Amblecote and Withymoor. Sloping ground puts lower rooms partly below external level, and in the flats we find blocked communal extract ducts, sealed windows and heating patterns that leave whole rooms below dew point.
