Damp and Timber Surveys in Bedford and the surrounding villages
As a practicing Chartered Building Surveyor the founder of Phillips & Co recognised a basic flaw in the property purchase market.
Damp in one shape or form is probably the most common defect found within property.
Unfortunately, within the scope of a Mortgage Valuation, Homebuyers Report or Full Structural or Building Survey the surveyor may not have either the experience or expertise but more commonly the time or specialist equipment to undertake a thorough investigation into the causes of an apparent damp problem within a property.
As a consequence of this the report produced often makes the reader aware of high moisture levels having been recorded and recommends a further investigation by a "Damp Specialist"
