Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Bromsgrove

Bromsgrove ranges from timber-framed and brick cottages in the villages to 1930s homes and modern commuter-belt estates below the Lickey Hills. Most of the damp we find here turns out to be a rainwater or ground-level problem rather than a failed damp-proof course.

We survey Catshill, Aston Fields, Lickey End, Rubery, Alvechurch and Hagley. Properties on the slopes below the Lickeys often take surface water against rear walls, and soakaways or land drains are frequently overwhelmed in heavy rain. Village cottages show decay where cement pointing and impermeable paint have sealed originally breathable walls.

The survey

What happens on a Bromsgrove damp survey

A typical inspection of a Bromsgrove home takes 1–2 hours on site, with your written damp and timber report normally issued within 2–3 working days.

1. Site inspection
We inspect the affected areas and the wider building fabric of your Bromsgrove property, inside and out.
2. Readings & imaging
Calibrated moisture meter readings and thermal imaging trace hidden moisture paths and cold spots.
3. Diagnosis
We identify the actual cause — rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, a leak or timber decay.
4. Written report
You receive a photographic report with readings, findings and prioritised, costed next steps.
