Damp Aid UK - Chester is a family run independent specialist damp company & timber treatment firm who provides assessment, information and advice along with a complete service for the cure & treatments of rising damp, woodworm treatment, dry rot control, condensation and general property care maintenance throughout Chester, Chesire and the Cheshire region in areas such as Thornton-le-moors, Saughall, Aldford, Windsford, Tarporley, Wilmslow, Widnes, Broughton, Hatton Heath, Eaton Hall etc.

Having been established nearly 30 years, we are one of the leading damp proofing & timber treatment companies in Chester, offering cost effective solutions along with the highest standard of quality and service from your initial enquiry through to and beyond any damp-proofing or timber treatment we provide.

With any building defect, it is essential that you get a correct diagnosis of the problem before any recommendations for dealing with it can be made.  Damp Aid UK - Chester deal with problems arising from damp in a building as well as woodworm and timber decay.  Having gained crucial understanding of the nature of dampness and timber infestation, our aim is to provide an accurate diagnosis of the actual causes, not just identifying the presenting symptoms.  An initial inspection is carried out by a qualified specialist damp and timber surveyor and by correctly identifying the cause of a problem, appropriate recommendations can be made and advice given, providing clients with the awareness to make informed decisions and to avoid potentially costly and inappropriate chemical treatments often recommended by other damp-proofing companies.

The services provided by Damp Aid UK - Chester include a damp and/or timber survey & quotation (where necessary), damp proofing, remedies for damp walls, woodworm treatment & dry rot control, along with various remedial works (often highlighted in a homebuyers report) such as external ground lowering, re-plastering, sub-floor ventilation etc.  In a high proportion of the properties we have surveyed, chemical treatment has not been necessary.  Some of our clients have been provided with quotations from other damp-proof companies for a damp proof course injection.  However, by lowering the external ground level or repairing defective rainwater goods, the damp wall has dried out naturally without the need for any chemical injection treatment.

Wherever possible, we try to eliminate any damp in walls by environmentally friendly measures instead of immediately recommending chemical damp-proof injection.  Likewise, when woodworm has been found by a client, our first aim is to ascertain if the woodworm infestation is active or even a species requiring treating, before we recommend woodworm treatment.  If no chemical treatment is needed - we will say so!

Our clients who have required damp proofing, woodworm treatment or dry rot control from a reputable damp proofing / timber treatment company range from domestic house holders & commercial properties through to Government buildings, Government departments and utility companies.  With nearly three decades of successfully treating damp problems, rising damp, woodworm, dry rot, wet rot and condensation, Damp Aid UK - Chester have built a reputation of providing a quality service with very competitive prices and a personal one-to-one service with all our clients.

Damp & timber surveys, reports and/or quotations are provided by our fully qualified and experienced CSRT remedial surveyors, wo are not on commission, therefore do not need to "find work".  After carrying out the inspection we will provide you with the details of the correct diagnosis, recommendations on curing or treating any damp wall, woodworm or timber decay and, if necessary, a quotation detailing any proposed treatment or remedial work to be carried out.

All our damp proofing & woodworm treatments are carried out by our own skilled trained / qualified technicians and unlike some timber & damp proofing companies, we do not use sub-contractors to carry out any of our damp proofing, woodworm treatment or dry rot control works.

Don’t take chances with your property. Get the reassurance and protection of using a fully qualified CSRT damp & timber specialist surveyor and a BWPDA / PCA member firm offering a GPI insurance backed 20 year guarantee.

As members of the BWPDA and the Property Care Association (PCA) Damp Aid UK - Chester can provide long term guarantees issued by the Guarantee Protection Insurance Company Ltd (GPI) which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

Damp Survey in Chester

Depending on the instructions received, the surveyor will inspect all accessible walls at ground floor level for rising damp using an electric resistance metre and visible observations. (However, he will not normally move external obstructions or internal furnishings).  External observations will be made and relevant comments on building defects such as rainwater goods, external render etc, will be made where appropriate, to the client or in the report if submitted. Any visual evidence of timber decay will also be reported upon.

Timber Survey in Chester

Following the client's instructions, accessible timbers will be inspected for woodboring insect attack or timber decay (dry rot, wet rot). Roof timbers will be inspected if safe access is available. Floor timbers will be inspected where accessible. With occupied properties the inspections are usually limited. Fitted carpets will not normally be lifted (unless loose) or furniture moved. Floorboards will not be lifted unless they are loose enough to do so without causing any damage. Staircase timbers will be inspected, except where fitted carpets are present. Soffits to the underside of the staircase often prevent inspection of the timbers too.

Guarantee for Damp proofing, Woodworm Treatment & Dry Rot in Chester

Our Guarantee Certificate is issued naming the property, not the occupant; therefore there is no transfer fee if you sell.
