Building Defects Diagnostic Advice

An area of dampness in a wall, ceiling or floor, for example, is worrying as well as being unsightly. But in some instances the cause may be as simple as condensation, which can be cured easily and inexpensively by making simple lifestyle changes. Similarly cracks in wall surfaces need not be an indication of subsidence or major property movement. Rising dampness too is often misdiagnosed.

When faced with a building defect the first need is to obtain a reliable diagnosis of the cause. Independent expert advice in regard to defects can often save thousands of pounds of unnecessary work.
