What We Offer
Damp & Timber Survey Options
The Independent Pre-Purchase Damp and Timber Survey Report is commonly requested by financial institutions, Lenders and Conveyancing organisations during property purchases. This survey is conducted in an unbiased manner like all our surveys, without any interest in selling you services such as damp proofing treatments and/or timber treatments. Thereby providing our clients with peace of mind and clarity before making a legal commitment to a property.
We offer this option to domestic property owners with a suspected damp and/or timber related problem. If you suspect any issues such as Dampness, Mould Growth, Dry Rot, or Woodworm Infestation within your property, it is advisable to have a reliable and qualified independent CSRT surveyor diagnose the problem accurately before undertaking any damp proofing or timber treatments.
Preserving and protecting historical buildings in the UK is crucial for future generations. Throughout England and Wales, there are numerous buildings of significant heritage value. These buildings fall into three categories based on their level of importance: Grade I, Grade II*, Grade II. When dealing with a listed building, it is crucial to adopt the right traditional approach to ensure the preservation of the structure while causing minimal or no damage. A heritage damp and timber survey is an essential step in this process.
Our comprehensive damp and timber survey option is tailored to meet the needs of commercial building owners and leaseholders across various industries, including shops, restaurants, warehouses, train stations, schools, hospitals, breweries, factories, and redevelopment projects, among others.
A Re-mortgage and Equity Release Damp and Timber Survey Report is often required by financial institutions, lenders, and conveyancing organisations when homeowners are considering re-mortgaging or seeking equity release on their property. Our survey is conducted impartially, just like all our surveys, with no vested interest in selling you damp proofing treatments or timber treatments. This approach ensures that our clients gain peace of mind and a clear understanding of the property’s condition which can be presented to a lender.
We provide a valuable service for landlords, landladies, and tenants residing in rental properties experiencing issues related to dampness and timber problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Damp Pro we aim to make sure that every client obtains the information they need from their damp and/or timber survey/report. In many cases, our clients will be submitting their report to a mortgage lender and so certain areas must be covered within the survey and report. It may be requested that a ground floor only inspection is carried out, or perhaps it is essential that all floors are investigated. In other instances, a damp and timber survey may be required on a property that is already owned and so perhaps only certain areas are requested to be investigated by our surveyors such as, chimney breasts, roof voids or beneath the floor (sub-floor survey). It is for these reasons that we do not issue a ‘one price suits all’ as one property may have three floors, converted loft space and a basement, and another may be a two bedroomed terrace property. To give you the best price for a damp and timber survey we need to know as much information about your property and requirements as possible.

In most circumstances we will endeavor to provide you with your damp and/or timber report within five working days. This can be determined for you on the day of enquiry once we have all relevant information regarding your property or requirements for the survey. We understand that during the purchase of a property most clients are keen to know the findings of the survey as soon as possible, therefore we can arrange for the surveyor to contact you on/after the survey to discuss the findings. Again, for a speedy process, we send out all our damp and timber reports via email unless requested otherwise.

The chance that your property is suffering from rising damp is slim. There is a lot of moisture that can be found within a building not all of it is rising damp. It is very important that a damp survey is carried out to determine whether or not rising damp is present before you go down the route of damp proofing a wall.

A damp proof course is a horizontal barrier inserted into a wall/structure to prevent the movement of upward capillary action (rising damp).

No one works for free in this world today unfortunately. Our qualified damp and timber surveyors are providing a specialist service to you which is chargeable. The surveyor will provide you with second to none knowledge in regards to damp and timber problems followed by a damp and timber report. It costs damp proofing and timber treatment companies to send a qualified CSRT surveyors to you. For example, to name just a few overhead costs of a vehicle, fuel, insurances, time organising the survey and time compiling a damp and timber report not to forget the surveyors salary as well as office staffs wages who take a key role in the preparation of surveys and reports. So one would have to wonder how damp and timber companies offering free damp and timber surveys manage to do it!? The simple answer is by selling a product or make up problems that do not even exist.
