Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Leominster

Leominster and the surrounding Marches are full of black-and-white timber-framed buildings, stone cottages and period farmhouses, alongside more modern estates. We carry out independent damp surveys in Leominster that diagnose the true cause of damp — essential in older timber-framed and solid-wall construction.

We survey homes across Leominster, including Kingsland, Weobley, Pembridge, Eardisland and the wider Herefordshire Marches. Timber-framed and stone properties need breathable, sympathetic solutions; many show penetrating damp from weathered walls and failed rainwater goods, plus timber decay where moisture has been trapped by inappropriate modern materials.
