Our client engaged Damp Solutions UK to carry out a comprehensive damp and timber survey on a mid-terrace property they were interested in purchasing in Warrington.
In November 2025, a comprehensive damp and timber survey was conducted on a two-bedroom red brick terraced property located in Preston. The objective of this survey was to identify potential moisture-related issues, assess the condition of the timber within the structure, and recommend appropriate remedial actions.
The Warrington homeowner reported persistent damp on ground-floor internal walls (tide marks, flaking paint/plaster) and noticeable movement in the timber floor. Damp Solutions UK was instructed to carry out a full survey and recommend remedial works.
