Why use a local damp and timber surveyor in Cardiff?
Cardiff's inner suburbs - Roath, Canton, Cathays - are dense Victorian and Edwardian terraces; the outer city is interwar and post-war semis, with large new-build developments at Plasdwr and around the Bay. Welsh building-regulation and planning rules apply. Solid-walled period homes, converted flats and well-sealed modern houses each produce their own damp patterns, and the free survey from a damp-proofing company will diagnose them all as something that needs a treatment. An independent surveyor charging a fee has no such incentive.
Every damp and timber surveyor we match covers CF postcodes, holds the relevant qualifications where claimed and is verified before receiving your enquiry. You choose how many quotes you'd like - up to 6.
