Swindon & Wiltshire Damp Surveys
Based in Swindon · Serving Swindon and nearby towns
Rising damp, penetrating damp or water getting in from outside? These problems can look alike but need very different fixes. We trace where the moisture is coming from using specialist equipment, then tell you what is causing it in plain English. You get a clear damp survey report with our findings and practical next steps, so you can fix the cause instead of treating the symptoms. We will also tell you honestly if the problem turns out to be smaller than you feared.

Worried about woodworm, wet rot or dry rot? Timber problems often hide behind paintwork and plaster, spreading quietly until they turn expensive. We inspect your timbers thoroughly and report exactly what we find, with clear and honest advice for homeowners, landlords and buyers. You will know what needs doing, what can wait and what is nothing to worry about. Early detection is the key with timber decay, as catching it sooner almost always means a simpler repair.

Hidden leaks behind walls, under floors or in pipework are hard to spot, but they can cause serious damage over time. We use specialist equipment to pinpoint them accurately without tearing your property apart. Once we find the leak, we explain what caused it and what to do next, so you can get it fixed quickly and with minimum disruption. We can also check for less obvious sources, such as a slow pipework leak that only shows up as a rising water bill.

Black mould on the walls and streaming windows are miserable to live with, and they usually point to humidity and ventilation problems rather than rising damp. We identify what is causing the excess moisture in your home and give you practical, straightforward advice to sort it out. Small changes are often enough once you know the real cause. We will also explain which changes will make the biggest difference in your home, so you are not left guessing.

Buying a house? Damp and timber problems are among the costliest surprises a buyer can face after moving in. Our independent pre-purchase surveys check for hidden moisture, rot and woodworm before you exchange contracts, so you go in with your eyes open. The report gives you solid ground to negotiate on price or walk away. It is quick to arrange and can save you thousands in unexpected repair bills after you move in.

After a leak or flood, the priority is getting your property dried out and repaired properly before secondary damage sets in. We help repair and recover properties affected by water, from assessing the damage to getting the drying and repairs organised. Call us to talk through what your property needs and we will guide you from there. Acting quickly after water damage makes a real difference, as damp left to sit can lead to mould and timber problems within weeks.

Some damp problems start where no one can see. Our drone surveys inspect roofs, chimneys, gutters and high walls safely from the air, with no ladders or scaffolding needed. You get clear aerial photos and video showing exactly where water is getting in, so nothing gets missed and nothing gets guessed at. Drone surveys are especially useful for older properties, where roof and chimney defects are among the most common sources of damp.
