Covering Dorset, Hampshire, Bristol, Bath and South Wales , we utilise advanced diagnostic tools and methods to analyse every aspect of your property’s health: from moisture and timber to ventilation, structure and environment.

What, Why & How We Go About a Property Survey

What We Do

We perform a full diagnostic inspection of your property, focusing on damp, timber, ventilation, moisture and structural condition. We gather data — using thermal-imaging, moisture meters and visual checks — and compile a comprehensive report to inform your decision-making.

Why It Matters

Properties in the South Coast region often face unique risk-factors: older builds, coastal exposure, high humidity and hidden moisture paths. A full survey gives you clarity, so you understand whether issues exist, their severity, and what remedial works may be required. Early diagnosis prevents costly surprises.

How We Carry It Out

1. Pre-Inspection Review

We gather property background (age, previous works, any perceived issues).

2. External Walk-Round:

We inspect gutters, ground levels, brickwork and any obvious external defects.

3. Internal Inspection & Testing:

Using moisture/humidity meters, thermal imaging and visual checks inside the property — walls, floors, hidden spaces

4. Data Analysis & Reporting:

We compile the findings, annotate key issues, photograph evidence and outline recommendations, delivering the full document for your review.

If you’re preparing to buy a property, manage a rental, suspect hidden issues in your home or simply want the comfort of knowing your property’s condition, our team can arrange an inspection, collect data and deliver a full written survey report with recommendations tailored to your property. This gives you the information needed to make informed decisions — whether remedial work is required now, later, or simply monitored.

What We Include in a Property Survey

Thermal Imaging & Heat-Profile Scan

We utilise thermal-imaging cameras to detect cold spots, hidden moisture and temperature anomalies within walls, floors and ceilings, enabling us to spot defects invisible to the naked eye.

Humidity & Moisture Measurements

Using calibrated humidity meters, moisture meters and other diagnostic tools we measure moisture content in walls, timber and cavity spaces to establish a moisture-profile of the property.

Visual Inspection — External & Internal

Our survey includes a full walk-round of both exterior and interior: checking roofing, gutters, ground levels, cavity points, timber joists, plaster condition and signs of damp or decay.

Cavity & Hidden Space Inspections

Where access allows we inspect cavity walls, sub-floors, lofts or roof voids for insulation issues, bridging, evidence of woodworm or rot and other hidden moisture paths.

Timber Condition & Structural Checks

We assess exposed timber (floorboards, joists, rafters), check for signs of woodworm, rot or decay and gauge how moisture may be affecting structural elements.

Detailed Written Report with Photographic Evidence

After inspection we provide a full report containing annotated images, findings, moisture-profiles, diagnostics and clear recommendations for next steps.
