Wolverhampton is a city that experiences its fair share of wind and rain and this means a wide range damp problems can effect properties in the area. Penetrating damp caused by wind driven rain, rising damp from sodden ground and condensation and mould growth caused by poor ventilation can effect properties in Wolverhampton but all show different symptoms.

This variety of damp issues makes it tricky for homeowners to correctly diagnose the source of damp . If you see any of the signs below we would recommend booking a survey with one of our qualified and accredited surveyors. The experts in our Wolverhampton branch will determine the true source of your damp problem and recommend the best course of damp proofing treatment:

• Damp patches on walls or ceilings
• Damaged plaster or wallpaper with visible damp stains or salt deposits
• Mould growth on walls and around windows
• Damp patches or flooding in your basement or cellar
• Decaying or rotting skirting boards or beams
• Fungal growth on timber beams

Peter Cox offer a range of condensation solutions, to combat issues with black mould growth and condensation in your property. Condensation problems are caused by inadequate venitilation. This occurs when excess moisture is unable to escape the property, and settles on indoor walls and ceilings. Our surveyors will establish the source of your ventilation issues, and put together a detailed report speciically tailored to your property. This report will outline proposals on how to solve the ventilation issues in your property. If necessary, our Wolverampton team can install an air quality monitoring system, to identify condensation hot spots around the home.

Our Wolverhampton branch doesn’t just treat damp problems. If you have noticed timber damage in your property it could mean you have a problem with a woodworm infestation. Our woodworm specialists can conduct a full and comprehensive woodworm survey that will consisit of the following:

• Assess the scope of the infestation and the species of woodworm involved
• Determine if the woodworm larvae are active and actually require treatment
• Confirm any repairs needed required
• Check for associated timber problems such as wet rot or dry rot

If you have spotted any of the signs of woodworm in your property, contact our Wolverhampton team today.
