Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Worcester

Worcester's timber-framed and Georgian buildings sit close to the Severn, and flood history shapes much of the damp we are called to. We separate flood-related, penetrating and condensation damp carefully, because the repairs are completely different.

We survey St John's, Barbourne, Warndon, Diglis, Kempsey and Droitwich. Properties in the flood-affected riverside streets often retain moisture and salts in walls and floors long after the water has gone, and replastering too early is a common and expensive mistake. Elsewhere, timber-framed buildings show decay where panels were sealed with modern materials.

The survey

What happens on a Worcester damp survey

A typical inspection of a Worcester 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 Worcester 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.
