Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Warwick

Warwick's town centre kept its timber-framed buildings alongside the Georgian brick townhouses built after the 1694 fire, with modern housing at Warwick Gates and Woodloes Park. Damp in these older buildings is rarely what it first appears, so we diagnose before anything is specified.

We survey Emscote, Woodloes Park, Warwick Gates, Budbrooke, Barford and Hampton Magna. Riverside properties near the Avon can show high ground moisture and sub-floor dampness, while timber-framed buildings suffer decay where panels have been re-rendered in cement. Listed-building consent considerations shape every recommendation we make.

The survey

What happens on a Warwick damp survey

A typical inspection of a Warwick 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 Warwick 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.
