Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Eccleshall

Eccleshall is a historic Staffordshire town with a mix of period stone cottages, Georgian town houses, rural farmhouses and modern developments. We carry out independent damp surveys that diagnose the true cause of damp, mould and timber decay.

We survey properties across Eccleshall, including Stone, Stafford, Swynnerton, Yarnfield, Standon and the surrounding Staffordshire countryside. Older stone properties are prone to penetrating damp and rising damp, while rural homes often suffer from heat loss and missing insulation. Our reports are independent and suitable for homeowners, landlords and buyers.
