“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 Poole
Our specialists regularly work throughout Poole and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
What we look for in Poole properties
From harbourside homes to 1930s semis in Oakdale and Broadstone, Poole’s properties face a mix of ground, weather and condensation problems.
Low-lying harbour ground
Homes in Hamworthy, the Old Town and around Holes Bay sit close to the water table. We check DPC heights, floor levels and whether outside ground has been raised.
Sea-facing walls
Properties in Lilliput and Canford Cliffs take salt-laden rain. We look at render, pointing and cavity condition to rule penetrating damp in or out.
Condensation in modern flats
Newer, well-sealed flats around the quay often suffer condensation mould rather than true damp. Humidity readings and surface temperatures show the difference.
What your Poole 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.
