Damp-proofing, Rising Damp, Woodworm, Dry Rot & Timber / Fungal Decay
DampAid UK deal with damp problems, rising damp, woodworm, dry rot control and other forms of timber decay and dampness found in buildings throughout the whole of the UK mainland. We carry out our specialist damp survey, timber survey or timber and damp survey on domestic properties such as terrace houses, semi-detached & detached houses, flats, cottages, farms & farmhouses, converted barns, warehouses & mills along with commercial properties and for all property professionals, providing advice, and a damp report, woodworm report, dry rot report (or combined damp and timber report) and quotation, where necessary, for the cure of dampness and timber infestation using long term cost effective chemically free solutions.
Our damp-proofing and timber treatments specialists solutions, combined with our expertise and over 25 years experience, mean we can offer long term guarantees for any damp proofing, woodworm treatment and dry rot control / timber treatments found to be necessary. Unlike many damp proofing companies and timber treatment firms, DampAid UK use a number of environmentally friendly treatments and will not specify any unnecessary work.
Some forms of dampness or timber decay is almost universal in traditional buildings throughout Britain. The extent of this problem varies from insignificant to major structural damage. Dealing with these damp and timber problems depends upon who you instruct. We have noticed, since the global economic downturn, that some of our clients have been offered a free damp survey or damp and timber survey by builders who are passing themselves off as a damp specialist or timber expert and providing quotations for works which have been completely misdiagnosed. They have been advised to have chemical treatment carried out, when in fact, by carrying out basic remedial measures, the problem has been controlled or cured without the use of chemicals. To have a dampness, woodworm or timber decay problem correctly identified, it is important that you contact a PCA registered damp and timber treatment specialist / expert / contractor. (Who in the world would employ a plumber to re-wire a house or an electrician to fix a leaking pipe?!).
A DampAid UK surveyor is a specialist consultant as well as a surveyor, having undergone internal and external training to gain the nationally recognised and necessary qualifications - namely CSRT (Certificated Surveyor in Remedial Treatment) & CTIS (Certificated Timber Infestation Surveyor). This enables the surveyor to correctly diagnose a dampness, rising damp, woodworm, dry rot or wet rot (fungal / timber decay) problem and to recommend the correct remedial measure to control, cure or treat it.
Many of our damp & timber surveys are carried out for client's who are buying a property and have been instructed by their mortgage lender to employ a damp proofing specialist or timber treatment specialists to investigate areas of dampness, moisture ingress, woodworm infestation or dry rot (timber decay). The damp and timber report produced is usually required prior to exchange of contracts, where any damp proofing quotation or woodworm treatment, dry rot control quotation can be used to negotiate the price of the property. We recognise that speed is of the essence with home buyers and we are able to carry out the pre-purchase survey quickly and, if requested, can email the damp and timber report to the client or direct to the client's solicitor within a matter of hours of the damp & timber survey being carried out.
We currently offer three damp & timber survey and/or quotation options:
