Who Needs a Damp Survey in Bristol?
Our services are tailored for prospective homebuyers, existing homeowners, landlords, and property managers. If a mortgage valuation has flagged potential dampness, timber decay, or condensation, a specialist independent report is often required to satisfy lending criteria.
Common Damp & Timber Problems
In Bristol, we commonly identify issues such as penetrating damp through failed exterior render, high external ground levels bridging original damp proof courses, poor sub-floor ventilation rotting timber joists, and severe condensation forming black mould in rental properties.
Our Inspection Process
Our surveys use calibrated moisture meters to profile moisture distribution across the masonry. We assess external drainage, check sub-floor ventilation via air bricks, and visually inspect accessible structural timbers for wet rot, dry rot, and woodworm infestations.
Clear Written Reports
Following the site inspection, clients receive a comprehensive written report detailing our findings, supported by photographic evidence. We provide practical, honest repair recommendations—distinguishing between simple maintenance fixes and core remedial construction works.

Why do Clifton basement flats smell musty?
Most basements were originally designed as unenclosed drafty cellars. Sealing them to create flats without adding high-capacity ventilation causes humidity to lock above 70%, spoiling plaster and triggering active musty odors.
