Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Cheadle

Cheadle is a small market town in the Staffordshire Moorlands with a mix of historic stone buildings, Victorian cottages, former mining housing and modern estates. We provide independent damp surveys that identify the real cause of damp and timber problems.

We survey properties across Cheadle, including Tean, Uttoxeter, Draycott in the Moors, Kingsley, Froghall and the surrounding Moorlands area. Older stone and solid-wall homes are vulnerable to penetrating damp and rising damp, while rural cottages often suffer from heat loss and missing insulation. Our reports are clear and independent.
