Damp Proofing London South Surveys and Inspections
With any building problem it is imperative to correctly identify the nature of the defect before deciding the best remedy. At Damp Proofing London South we deal with all damp problems arising from dampness in ageing houses. Also we deal with woodworm and wood rot. The first inspection is carried out free in most areas excluding Central London. A report is prepared with a quotation itemising all damp or timber problems including recommendations and costs for any specialist treatments. This will also list any work required to be carried out by other parties or preparations that may be necessary before we can start. If we find the cause of the damp problem is structural we will advise you of the correct course of action.
This is a basic inspection carried out at a mutually agreed time. Clients can call or e-mail us to discuss the inspection once they have received their report.
The prospective purchase surveys cost 100.00. Surveys in Central London cost 150.00.
