“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 Mere
Our specialists regularly work throughout Mere and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Why homes around Mere get damp
Traditional stone homes in a rural setting. These are the problems we see most often.
Stone walls that cannot breathe
Cement pointing, renders and modern paints stop thick stone walls drying out, so moisture comes through on the inside.
Shaded, slow-drying walls
Walls shaded by trees or banks stay wet for long periods, encouraging damp, mould and algae.
Timber decay in cottages
Old floor and roof timbers in damp conditions are at risk of rot and woodworm, which we treat or replace as needed.

Every service is delivered by our own in-house team and backed by our 25-year guarantee.
Your local damp, mould & timber team in Mere
Mere is a small town in the far south-west corner of Wiltshire, close to Stourhead and just off the A303. Its centre is full of old stone houses and cottages with thick solid walls, lime mortar and timber floors, many in the conservation area. Villages around it, such as Zeals, Stourton, Kilmington and Maiden Bradley, have similar traditional homes, often surrounded by fields and trees that keep some walls shaded and slow to dry. Across the border, Gillingham adds more modern housing. Traditional stone homes like these rarely need heavy chemical treatments. More often they need the right repairs to let them breathe, which is exactly what our in-depth survey is designed to identify.
