Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Cannock

Cannock has a strong stock of post-war council and ex-council housing, 1960s and 1970s semis, and newer estates on the edge of town. We provide independent damp surveys that identify the real cause of damp and mould, whether you live in a terrace, semi or apartment.

We survey across Cannock, including Hednesford, Heath Hayes, Bridgtown, Norton Canes, Great Wyrley and the surrounding Staffordshire area. Many homes have solid or partially filled cavity walls that can be affected by failed or bridged DPCs, while newer properties often show condensation and mould after insulation upgrades. Our reports are independent and action-focused.

4. Written report
You receive a photographic report with readings, findings and prioritised, costed next steps.
