Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Stone

Stone is a historic market town on the River Trent with a mix of Georgian town-centre properties, Victorian terraces, riverside homes and modern estates. We provide independent damp surveys that identify the true cause of damp, mould and timber problems.

We survey homes across Stone, including Stonefield, Aston, Oulton, Tittensor, Barlaston and Moddershall. Older properties near the town centre and river can suffer from rising damp and penetrating damp, while newer estates often show condensation and mould after energy-efficiency upgrades. Our reports are suitable for homeowners, landlords and buyers.

The survey

What happens on a Stone damp survey

A typical inspection of a Stone 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 Stone 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.
