Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton has a large stock of solid-wall housing, from Victorian terraces to 1960s council and ex-council homes. We provide independent damp surveys that identify the true source of moisture, whether it's rising damp, rain penetration, leaking gutters, or condensation caused by poor ventilation.

We survey homes across Wolverhampton, including Wednesfield, Tettenhall, Penn, Bilston, Bushbury and Heath Town. Many properties in the area suffer from cold bridging and interstitial condensation after insulation upgrades, while older homes often show signs of rising damp and salt contamination. Our reports explain the cause and give clear, prioritised next steps.
