Architects are often required to assess existing building fabric before refurbishment, conversion or extension works can proceed. Where dampness, timber deterioration or moisture-related defects are identified, specialist investigation is often required to establish the cause, extent and appropriate remedial approach.

Northway provides independent damp and timber surveys, condition assessments and remedial recommendations to support informed project decisions. Our experience spans residential, commercial and historic buildings, including listed and traditionally constructed properties where a considered approach is essential.

We understand the importance of balancing technical requirements with project objectives. Our reports are designed to provide clear findings and practical recommendations that can be incorporated into specifications, schedules of work and wider project documentation.

Whether investigating wood-boring insect activity, assessing timber decay, diagnosing moisture ingress or advising on ventilation and preservation measures, we work collaboratively with architects to help protect building fabric and support successful project outcomes.
