Timber & Rot Survey — FAQs

A diagnostic inspection for dry rot, wet rot and woodworm. We record WME moisture readings and ambient hygrometry, use thermal imaging to find hidden moisture/bridges, and perform visual/borescope checks where accessible. You receive a lender-ready PDF with cause, extent, risk, photos and clear remedial steps.
Only if the lender’s valuation flags a concern. When requested, a specialist Timber & Damp report answers the lender’s queries so the mortgage can proceed.
Dry rot is a fungus that can spread through timber once excess moisture has triggered it; wet rot usually stays local to the moisture source. Removing the moisture cause is essential in both.
We check species/flight holes, frass patterns and correlate with timber moisture. Activity typically coincides with elevated moisture. Evidence and recommendations are documented in the report.
The survey is non-destructive by default. We only lift floors or drill with consent and when opening-up would materially improve certainty for you or your lender.
