Damp Surveys
We test walls, inspect skirtings, plaster, external levels and ventilation so the cause is clear before treatment.

Bedford has a wide mix of riverside homes, Victorian terraces, older brick properties and newer estates, so damp needs checking properly before anyone recommends treatment.
Around Bedford we commonly investigate damp linked to solid walls, bridged damp-proof courses, high external ground levels, condensation and defects around gutters, pointing or render.
Meadow Wood Preservation provides free damp surveys for riverside homes, terraces and older brick properties in and around Bedford. Our CSRT-qualified, PCA registered team gives practical advice first, then carries out damp proofing only where it is genuinely needed.

Trevor has just recently completed a damp and woodworm survey on my home (as part of a home buy/selling process). Trevor came around within a few days following my request for an assessment and was highly knowledgeable and professional. He then produced a report which was informative and helpful. Would recommend.
Great work carried out promptly, with excellent communication from Trevor throughout. Highly recommend.
