Damp Specialists in Edinburgh
Edinburgh has a significant amount of rainfall, and even during the driest months of the year, there can still be a lot of rain. When there’s a lot of rain, damp usually follows, and while rain doesn’t cause damp, ineffective damp proofing courses, poor ventilation, and structural defects can all cause damp problems in your property.
Damp issues vary from property to property, which is why correct diagnosis matters. As experienced damp specialists in Edinburgh, we investigate the source of moisture before recommending any treatment.
Our surveyors assess the condition of walls, ventilation, and building materials to ensure the solution addresses the cause, not just the symptoms.
Damp Proofing Surveys and Property Assessments
A professional damp survey in Edinburgh provides clarity when signs of moisture begin to appear. We carry out detailed inspections to identify rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, and associated timber concerns.
You’ll receive clear findings and practical recommendations, helping you understand the next steps without confusion.
Our damp proofing services are designed to prevent moisture from causing further damage. Depending on the issue, treatments may include damp proof course installation, moisture control measures, or repairs to affected internal finishes.
Every recommendation is based on the condition of your property and tailored for long-term performance.
Property Care Beyond Damp Proofing
Damp problems can sometimes indicate wider property issues. Dry rot, wet rot, and woodworm are all more likely to occur in damp properties and can lead to extensive structural damage if left untreated. Timberwise provide specialist services for:
- Damp surveys and moisture diagnosis
- Woodworm treatment and timber preservation
- Dry rot and wet rot treatment
- Structural repairs to damaged timber, cracked brickwork and concrete, and cavity wall ties
- Basement waterproofing systems
Timberwise surveyors are trained to identify the whole spectrum of property issues and recommend treatments to keep your property safe long-term.
Whilst we often have same-week availability in Edinburgh, it can be dependant on demand. Call 0131 278 3583 to speak to us and find the earliest survey appointment that works for you.
Treatment costs depend on the cause and extent of the problem in the property. You will receive a written report following your survey that will include a clear quote for any recommended remedial works.
Of course – no matter if you are in the dead centre of Edinburgh, or outside the city entirely, our team are going to be able to help. We cover the majority of Scotland, so if you need a survey just get in touch!
