Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Rowley Regis

Rowley Regis occupies some of the highest ground in the Black Country, and exposure is the defining factor. West-facing walls take sustained driving rain, and penetrating damp here is far more common than rising damp.

We survey Blackheath, Cradley Heath side, Old Hill and the housing on the Rowley Hills. Quarried rock and steep plots mean many properties have retaining structures and split levels, while the exposed high ground drives rain deep into solid and poorly filled cavity walls.
