Damp Specialists in Southampton
No two damp issues are the same. Rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation issues can have different causes depending on the property, and resolving them means getting treatment right, first time.
Our PCA-accredited surveyors carry out detailed inspections to understand exactly what’s causing the problem before recommending a solution. We then offer specialist damp proofing designed with your property in mind, tailored to resolve current issues and prevent future problems like dry rot and woodworm. This ensures you receive the right treatment first time, avoiding unnecessary work and repeat issues.
Our Damp Surveys in Southampton
A professional survey is the starting point for any successful treatment. It provides a clear picture of the issue and how it should be resolved.
Our damp surveys in Southampton include a full inspection of affected areas, the identification of moisture sources, a clear explanation of findings, and tailored treatment recommendations. Problems we are regularly called out to survey include:
- Rising damp affecting walls and plaster
- Penetrating damp from external defects
- Condensation and poor ventilation issues
- Damp affecting basements and below-ground areas
You’ll receive straightforward advice, with no jargon or guesswork. We also provide no-obligation quotes with our survey reports, with a transparent explanation of treatment costs.
Additional Property Care & Timber Treatment Services
Alongside damp proofing in Southampton, Timberwise offers a full range of specialist services to support your property. Damp conditions often lead to timber decay or infestation if left unresolved.

- Structural repair work
- Basement waterproofing systems
These services can be integrated where necessary to deliver a complete, long-term solution to damp problems. We take a practical, evidence-based approach to every project. The focus is always on solving the problem at its source. This ensures your property remains dry, safe, and protected.
