Timber surveys in Northern Ireland
Timber surveys across Northern Ireland.
What timber surveys involves
Buying a house with a flagged roof timber, springy floor or damp subfloor? A timber survey examines accessible woodwork for decay, insect damage and moisture-related problems, helping you understand a concern raised during a property purchase or routine maintenance.
Book a timber survey in Northern Ireland at a set price. A specialist assesses the agreed areas and records the findings, including any limits caused by floor coverings, stored belongings or concealed construction.

How timber surveys works with us
Scope agreed
Your booking records the property details and the timber concerns the specialist needs to investigate.
Access review
The specialist checks which roof, floor and other agreed timber areas can be reached safely.
Condition checks
Accessible woodwork is examined for deterioration, with moisture readings taken where relevant.
Findings recorded
The specialist prepares written observations explaining defects, inspection limits and any further action advised.
What have you noticed in the wood?
- A property survey recommends further investigation of floor or roof timbers.
- Floorboards feel soft, dip underfoot or show damage around their edges.
- Joist ends look dark or deteriorated where they meet damp masonry.
- Roof timbers have staining beneath a leak or around a chimney.
- Small holes, crumbling wood or fungal growth appear on exposed timber.
Understand the condition before deciding on work
Moisture belongs in the picture
The specialist considers moisture readings alongside timber condition and visible defects. A leaking roof, restricted subfloor ventilation or damp masonry may help explain why wood has deteriorated.
A purchase with questions attached
If a lender or building surveyor has requested a timber report, provide the relevant wording when booking. The specialist can confirm whether the proposed inspection covers the concern; the recipient decides whether the resulting report meets its requirements.
Hidden areas need separate consideration
A visual inspection cannot establish the condition of every concealed joist or beam. Where access is insufficient, the report can identify what remains unknown and whether agreed opening-up or further investigation is needed.
