Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Kidderminster

Kidderminster has a mix of historic town-centre buildings, Victorian terraces, suburban semis and rural properties towards the Worcestershire countryside. We carry out independent damp surveys that find the true cause of damp and timber problems, with no tie to any remedial contractor.

From Kidderminster town centre and Franche to Habberley, Spennells, Cookley and the surrounding villages, we inspect properties of all ages. Older brick and stone homes are prone to penetrating damp and rising damp, while newer homes can suffer from condensation and mould after airtightness improvements. We also survey properties near the River Stour that are at risk of flooding and moisture ingress.
