Damp/Timber surveyor

Recommended Posts

Our building survey found some woodworm (no idea if active/inactive) and a bit of damp - we'd like to get this looked at by a specialist surveyor - does anyone have any recommendations? I've attempted to contact a number of google hits yesterday to little success, so someone local(-ish) would be great.

OK - I've now had some luck getting quotes from a couple of timber & damp surveyors. Turns out that there is an industry body http://www.property-care.org/ and that they list surveyors who will visit a given postcode. It also turns out that there aren't very many specialist surveyors for this type of thing, so it's a bit of a wait getting one done. Finally, woodowrm is unlikely to be a problem, see here for example http://www.askjeff.co.uk/woodworm-the-hole-in-the-argument/, so our survey is probably overkill. Might post back surveyors details if they seem good in a couple of weeks.

    • I know people won’t have any sympathy but the SEND challenge was brought up when taxing parents who have opted for independent school to meet a child’s SEND needs. Funding crisis is getting worse and the VAT on Education pushed children out of independent schools, now their SEND needs are to be met by the state.
    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan.
