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.
Our surveys are performed by a qualified and independent CSRT Surveyor, who aims to provide assurance regarding the property’s condition while offering insights into any potential damp and timber-related issues. If desired, we can also provide estimated costs for damp and timber treatments to assist you in planning for the future. Please note though, we are not damp proofing and timber treatment contractors and therefore will not be providing a quotation for works/treatment.
Our reports are typically issued within a maximum of five days, often being completed in just two days. Upon scheduling an appointment, our team will coordinate with the estate agents and/or sellers to arrange access to the property at a mutually convenient time. Once the booking is confirmed, you will receive an email with appointment details and a survey scope outlining the areas that will be assessed. Based on your instructions, our independent surveyor will examine all readily accessible parts of the property to determine the potential presence of rising damp, woodworm infestation, and timber decay.

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. Our damp and timber survey can be conducted on a specific area, the ground floor or the entire building, based on your instructions. If you choose to proceed, an independent surveyor will identify and diagnose the damp and/or timber problem you are facing and develop a suitable solution to resolve it.

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 buildings: These structures are exceptionally significant, often considered to be of international importance. Only 2.5% of listed buildings fall into this category.
Grade II* buildings: This designation is reserved for buildings of great importance and more than special interest. Approximately 5.5% of listed buildings are classified as Grade II*.
Grade II buildings: This is the most common grade of listing, with 92% of all listed buildings falling into this category. Buildings in this class are nationally important and hold special interest. Many homeowners’ properties fall into this grade of listing.
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. It assesses the building’s condition, ranging from a 16th-century timber-framed cottage to a 10th-century medieval castle.
