Specialist damp and traditional-building reports for homeowners and buyers across South Wales. Evidence-led diagnosis on solid-wall stone terraces and period property — from someone with no damp-proofing to sell you.
When a mortgage valuer scribbles "rising damp" or a free survey recommends a chemical injection and cement render, a pre-1919 stone home can end up with the very treatment that traps moisture and causes the damage. We diagnose what's actually happening — and tell you the right way forward, never a product.
A full, conflict-free diagnosis of every moisture mechanism in play, plus a condition overview of the elements that drive it — so you know whether it's a quick fix or a negotiating point.
Everything in the standard report, plus the traditional-building fabric lens almost no one locally offers: breathability, inappropriate modern interventions, and the conservation-right path forward.
We don't sell damp proofing, render, or building work. The only thing we're paid for is an accurate answer — so there's no incentive to find a problem that isn't there.
Pre-1919 walls are designed to breathe. We diagnose them as traditional fabric, not modern cavity walls — the difference between a lasting repair and a recurring problem.
A clear, evidenced report written for you as the buyer — to inform your decision, support a renegotiation, or plan repairs with confidence.
Three moments where a specialist read pays for itself many times over.
Your mortgage survey noted "evidence of rising damp" but won't say what it is or what it costs. We tell you both.
A solid-wall pre-1919 home needs a traditional-building eye before you take on someone else's wrong repairs.
On a six-figure decision, an independent answer on the real condition is the cheapest insurance you'll buy.
