Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Tewkesbury

Tewkesbury's historic core is full of medieval and Georgian timber-framed buildings, alongside Victorian terraces and newer estates near the rivers Severn and Avon. As independent damp specialists in Tewkesbury, we diagnose the real cause of damp using thermal imaging and calibrated moisture meters — with no remedial work to sell.

We survey homes across Tewkesbury, including Ashchurch, Bredon, Twyning, Deerhurst and the surrounding Gloucestershire area. Period and timber-framed properties need careful, sympathetic diagnosis — many show penetrating damp and timber decay rather than true rising damp — while riverside and low-lying homes can suffer persistent condensation and mould. Our damp and timber reports explain the cause clearly.
