Our Services

We offer a range of services designed to help our clients understand and address any building-related issues they may be facing.

Our services include:

• Timber Decay Detection: We accurately diagnose the type of decay, enabling our clients to carry out appropriate remedial works to prevent further damage.
• Woodworm Detection: Our surveyors identify the presence of wood-boring insects and provide recommendations for treatment and prevention.
• Moisture Profiling & Maintenance: We provide moisture profiling and continued monitoring to help our clients care for their buildings in the long term.
• Cavity Wall-Tie / Void Inspections: We use metal detection and fibre optics to inspect cavity walls and voids, minimising damage to the building fabric.
• Project Management: Our qualified project managers oversee projects, providing moisture monitoring and planned maintenance programmes to ensure our clients' properties remain healthy.

Our Approach

Our approach is centred around providing a bespoke service that meets the unique needs of each client. We believe in clear communication, speaking plain English, and avoiding technical jargon to ensure our clients understand the issues and solutions. Our objective is to meticulously scan the outside of a building, identify defects, and provide practical recommendations for remedial repairs and maintenance. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail, our commitment to providing exceptional service, and our passion for solving building-related mysteries.
