Checkwood specialize in timber and damp surveys of buildings and timber structures for architects, engineers and other construction professionals. We provide information on damp problems and the decay state of structural timbers. Put simply, we tell you the extent of timber decay, the decay type and cause, whether the decay is active or inactive (i.e. historic), and the extent of any repairs that are required. We can recommend remedial works that avoid chemical remedial treatments, resulting in significant cost savings.


We take a sympathetic conservation-minded approach, which is perfectly suited for historically valued buildings or for any refurbishment/redevelopment project. We will liaise with conservation officers, structural engineers or repair contractors. For expert advice and excellent value for money, look no further.
