Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Rugby

Rugby's housing ranges from Victorian railway-town terraces to 1930s semis, post-war estates and expanding new developments. As independent damp specialists in Rugby, we diagnose the real cause of damp, mould and timber decay — with reports accepted by lenders and insurers.

We survey homes across Rugby, including Hillmorton, Bilton, Newbold, Brownsover, Dunchurch and Long Lawford. Victorian terraces often show rising damp and salt contamination, while older village properties nearby can suffer penetrating damp and timber decay in suspended floors and roof voids. Every report is independent and clearly prioritised.

The survey

What happens on a Rugby damp survey

A typical inspection of a Rugby home takes 1–2 hours on site, with your written damp and timber report normally issued within 2–3 working days.

1. Site inspection
We inspect the affected areas and the wider building fabric of your Rugby property, inside and out.
2. Readings & imaging
Calibrated moisture meter readings and thermal imaging trace hidden moisture paths and cold spots.
3. Diagnosis
We identify the actual cause — rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, a leak or timber decay.
4. Written report
You receive a photographic report with readings, findings and prioritised, costed next steps.

Will a mortgage lender accept your damp report for a Rugby property?

Yes. Our damp and timber reports are prepared by CSRT accredited, LM3DMC qualified surveyors and are written in the format lenders and solicitors expect, with moisture readings, photographic evidence, a diagnosis and costed recommendations.

Are you independent from damp-proofing contractors in Rugby?

We are completely independent. We do not sell, install or subcontract remedial damp-proofing work, so there is no incentive to over-specify treatment. You get a diagnosis based only on what the evidence shows.
