Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Welshpool

Welshpool and the surrounding Mid Wales countryside have a rich stock of stone cottages, timber-framed buildings, Victorian terraces and rural farmhouses. We carry out independent damp surveys in Welshpool, diagnosing damp properly in traditional buildings where standard treatments often fail.

We survey homes across Welshpool, including Guilsfield, Montgomery, Berriew, Llanfair Caereinion and the surrounding Powys area. Stone and solid-wall properties are prone to penetrating damp from driving rain, and timber decay is common where moisture is trapped by cement renders or modern paints. Our damp and timber reports respect traditional, breathable construction.

The survey

What happens on a Welshpool damp survey

A typical inspection of a Welshpool 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 Welshpool 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.
