Northern Ireland's timber survey specialist
Damp and timber surveys in Northern Ireland
Holes in a floorboard, crumbling wood or a damp patch beside a joist can be difficult to interpret. Timber Surveys NI takes bookings for set-price surveys across Northern Ireland. Tell us what you have noticed and a specialist will discuss the inspection with you, whether you already own the property or are preparing to buy.
Booking for a lender or insurance requirement?
If a mortgage lender or insurer has requested a damp and timber report, share the request before booking. The specialist can check the required scope, including which parts of the property need inspecting and what the written findings should address.
Report requirements vary. Check with the organisation requesting the survey that the proposed inspection and documentation meet its needs, rather than assuming every timber report will be accepted.
Small signs can raise big questions about timber
A set price for the survey
Book the service at a set price. Check which areas and documents are included so the booking matches the problem you need investigated.
Holes are a starting point
Old exit holes do not, by themselves, establish an active woodworm infestation. A specialist considers the condition of the timber and other signs before advising on what they mean.
Moisture matters to timber
Dampness can contribute to fungal decay. Where relevant to the survey, the specialist considers nearby moisture conditions as well as visible damage to the wood.
Access shapes the inspection
Mention covered floorboards, enclosed roof spaces or other hard-to-reach areas when booking. The specialist can explain access needs and any limits on what can be inspected.
Allow time for the property
Survey length depends on the areas involved and how accessible they are. Ask the specialist about the likely visit duration before arranging access.
Bring the buying paperwork
An extract from a homebuyer's report can help identify the concern behind a requested timber survey. Share relevant comments so the specialist knows which questions need addressing.
Give the property details early
Include the Northern Ireland address, property type and location of any visible damage in your booking enquiry. Photographs can help the specialist understand what prompted your request.
Arrange the checks your property needs
Tell us what prompted your concern. A specialist will confirm the survey scope and set price before you book.
