Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Walsall

Walsall has a strong tradition of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, plus large post-war council and ex-council estates. We carry out independent damp surveys that pinpoint the real cause of damp and mould, whether you own a period terrace, a semi-detached family home or a rental property.

We survey across Walsall, including Bloxwich, Willenhall, Darlaston, Pelsall, Aldridge and Brownhills. Many older homes have solid brick walls and suspended timber floors that are vulnerable to rising damp and timber decay, while newer estates can suffer from condensation and black mould after upgrades such as double glazing or insulation.
