Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Uttoxeter

Uttoxeter is a historic market town with a mix of period town-centre buildings, rural cottages, modern estates and former farmhouses. We carry out independent damp surveys that diagnose the true cause of damp, mould and timber decay across Uttoxeter and East Staffordshire.

We survey properties across Uttoxeter, including Marchington, Rocester, Denstone, Doveridge, Bramshall and The Heath. Older brick and stone homes are vulnerable to rising damp and penetrating damp, while rural properties can suffer from heat loss and missing insulation. Our reports are independent and action-focused.
