Independent Damp Surveyor
Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Willenhall
Willenhall mixes old industrial terraces with large post-war estates, and the damp problems split neatly along those lines: ground moisture and timber decay in the older stock, condensation and cold-bridging in the newer.
We survey around the Market Place, New Invention, Short Heath and the Coppice Farm area. Many older houses here have had cement render applied over solid brickwork, which holds water in the wall and pushes moisture upward and inward rather than solving anything.
