“Excellent service from start to finish. The survey was thorough and professional, with honest, evidence-based advice rather than trying to sell unnecessary work. I came away with complete peace of mind.”

“Excellent service throughout. Ashton came out to look at an issue raised on a part-exchange survey and, rather than recommend expensive remediation, told me honestly there was nothing wrong with the wall. Great to have an honest discussion.”

Areas we cover near Bournemouth
Our specialists regularly work throughout Bournemouth and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
What we check in Bournemouth homes
Bournemouth’s Victorian villas, Edwardian terraces and post-war semis each have their own weak spots. A good damp survey looks at all of them.
Wrongly diagnosed rising damp
Homebuyer reports often say “rising damp” from a meter reading alone. We use salt tests and a full outside check to find out whether it is really condensation, a leak or bridged ground.
Suspended timber floors
Older homes in Winton, Charminster and Springbourne have timber floors over a void. We check air bricks and subfloor ventilation and look for wet rot or woodworm.
Coastal penetrating damp
Exposed walls near the cliffs take driving rain. We check pointing, render, gutters and any failed cavity wall insulation as possible causes.
What your Bournemouth damp survey includes
Outside the property
Pointing, render, gutters, downpipes, ground levels, air bricks and any signs of failed cavity wall insulation.
Inside the property
Calibrated moisture readings, salt analysis, humidity and surface temperatures, plus mould and condensation patterns room by room.
Report and quote
A plain-English report with annotated photos, the cause of every problem found and an itemised, fixed-price quote — no obligation.
