Our Timber Defect Investigations include Timber Condition Assessments (TCA), Non-destructive Assessments, In-situ Visual Strength Grading to BS 5756 and Impartial Reports.

Specialist damp surveyors, investigating damp problems throughout the UK, on behalf of architects, engineers, private homeowners, local authorities and conservation professionals. Some companies offer separate damp and timber surveys but this is not advisable as it is essential to undertake an assessment of 'at risk' timbers as part of any damp investigation.

Unlike chemical treatment companies, we are building conservation professionals and practise the philosophy of minimal intervention. We focus on controlling decay by realigning environmental imbalances and implementing repair strategies that embrace conservation principles. This holistic approach addresses the causes and correction of the defect, it is scientific and totally effective.
