Understanding Timber Damage in Properties

Structural timbers can become weakened or damaged due to prolonged moisture exposure, fungal decay, wood-boring insect activity, leaks, poor ventilation or general deterioration over time. This can affect floorboards, joists, wall plates, roof timbers and other load-bearing elements within the building.

Signs timber repairs may be required
  • Soft, decayed or weakened timber
  • Bouncy, uneven or sagging floors
  • Damaged floorboards or compromised joists
  • Timber affected by rot, damp or woodworm activity
  • Cracking, movement or loss of structural integrity

ⓘ A professional survey can determine the true cause of the problem and the available solutions.

Professional Timber Condition Survey

Our timber surveys assess the condition of accessible structural timbers to determine whether repair, reinforcement or replacement is required. We inspect areas such as floor systems, joists, floorboards, roof timbers and other vulnerable timber elements, identifying the cause of deterioration and whether any wider damp, ventilation or preservation issues are contributing to the damage.

Our Process:
1
Internal & External Inspection
Walls, floors, ventilation and building defects assessed.
2
Moisture & Environmental Testing
Moisture readings and contributing factors identified.
3

You receive a clear report with our findings.
