Protect your property's structural timbers
Effective timber preservation matters when hidden decay starts eating into the strength of your property. We investigate woodworm and dry rot across Surrey, checking the condition of structural timbers and tracing the moisture issues that let damage spread. Early action can stop a small patch of fungal growth turning into major repair work in your roof, floors or joists.
Surrey Hills Damp has spent more than 15 years diagnosing these problems, and that experience helps us separate surface signs from the real cause. We carry out thorough damp surveys and condensation control for homes and commercial buildings, giving you clear advice instead of guesswork. That means you can act before timber damage becomes a bigger and more expensive problem.
What we look for during a timber inspection
Our surveys focus on the extent of decay, the type of infestation, and the conditions feeding it. We check for signs of wood-boring insects, active rot, damp-affected timber, and the moisture sources behind fungal growth. A dry rot problem rarely appears on its own, so we look at ventilation, water ingress, and surrounding building fabric to understand why it has started.
That gives you a treatment plan based on evidence rather than assumptions. If you're buying a property, we can carry out a pre-purchase timber check as part of our damp proofing assessment to help you understand the condition before you commit.
