Damp Specialists in Newcastle-on-Tyne
Successful damp treatment always starts with the correct diagnosis. Different forms of damp require different solutions, so understanding the cause is essential before any work begins.
Our damp specialists in Newcastle carry out detailed property inspections to identify the source of the problem, whether it be rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation issues. This may involve assessing moisture levels, inspecting structural timbers and evaluating ventilation and external factors affecting the building.
Once the cause has been confirmed, we recommend targeted treatments designed to resolve the issue and protect the property.
Timber Treatment & Protecting Structural Timber
Damp conditions can also lead to timber decay or insect infestation if left untreated. Addressing problems early helps protect structural timber and prevents further deterioration.
Many properties experiencing damp may also require related remedial work to fully resolve the issue. Timberwise offers a complete range of property care services designed to protect your home long term. Our Newcastle services include:
- Damp diagnosis and damp proofing treatments
- Woodworm surveys and timber treatment
- Dry rot and wet rot identification and repairs
- Structural repair solutions such as wall tie replacement
- Basement waterproofing and structural waterproofing systems
Damp Surveys in Newcastle
A professional survey is the most reliable way to understand what is causing damp within your home. Rising damp and penetrating damp can have very different causes, so our specialists conduct thorough surveys to ensure that the problem is properly identified and dealt with.
During a damp survey in Newcastle, our qualified surveyors assess areas commonly affected by damp, including, internal walls showing signs of damp staining, floors and subfloor voids, structural timbers within lofts and crawl spaces, ventilation and external building elements.
Following the inspection, you will receive clear guidance on the nature of the problem and the most appropriate remedial solution.
