Reliable Damp & Timber Surveys for Buyers & Sellers
If you are thinking of buying or selling an older property and it doesn’t have a current damp proofing or timber treatment guarantee, you would be well advised to have it surveyed by a Property Care Association (PCA) qualified damp & timber surveyor.
Maybe this is a requirement of your home buyers report, or your lender because the RICS surveyor considers there may be a problem. If any of these are the case, your lender is probably insisting that a more in-depth survey has to be carried out by a specialist PCA company, such as Tapco HomeDry.
Tapco HomeDry has been helping buyers and sellers protect their properties since 1971.

Why is a Damp or Timber Survey so important?
An RICS building survey rarely includes lifting flooring or floorboards so it is not an in-depth investigation. Although having another survey carried out may seem like an inconvenience, it is in your best interest to know exactly what remedial work is required and how much it is going to cost ideally before you exchange contracts. This way you will have the opportunity to renegotiate your offer and the repairs can possibly be undertaken before you move in.
What we check for:
Rising Damp
Condensation
Penetrating damp
High Wall Moisture
Flooring & Timber Decay
Dry Rot
Woodworm
Sub-Ground Defects
Wet rot
