Damp Surveys, Diagnosis and Treatment for Northampton Homes
Northampton has a wide mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and newer estates, so damp problems are not all caused by the same thing. A correct diagnosis matters before any damp proofing work begins.
As a PCA registered, CSRT-qualified damp specialist, we check moisture readings, salt contamination, plaster condition, ventilation, external defects, ground levels and nearby timber before recommending treatment.
We carry out free damp surveys across Northampton, including Kingsthorpe, Abington, Duston, Wootton, Weston Favell and nearby villages, followed by clear written recommendations for homeowners, landlords and buyers.

I brought a new house and discovered I had wood worm and needed damp proofing to be done. I called 3 companies and was quoted £1500, then called Meadow Wood Preservation and Trevor came around and quoted a really competitive price that I decided to go with him. He came to following week and did the work one afternoon. They did a fantastic job, and I’ve already recommended him to a friend who has a damp problem on her house.
