Independent Damp Survey Warwickshire

Richard Bull MISSE, ACIEH provides honest, evidence-based damp surveys across Warwickshire and the entire CV postcode area. Professional thermal imaging carried on every survey, used as needed. No sales pressure — ever.

Warwickshire is a county of quiet market towns, rural villages, and the urban fringe of Coventry and Nuneaton to the north. Its housing stock spans medieval and Tudor timber-frame buildings in Stratford and Warwick, Georgian and Victorian terracing in the market towns, and extensive interwar and post-war development across the county. The entire CV postcode area falls within our catchment.

Why Warwickshire Properties Need Independent Damp Surveys

Warwickshire’s historic building stock is particularly vulnerable to inappropriate treatment. The county contains a significant concentration of listed and traditionally-constructed properties where cement renders, chemical injection and tanking have caused serious long-term damage. Independent diagnosis by a specialist is the essential first step before any remedial work.

Historic & Listed Properties

Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon, Kenilworth

Medieval and Tudor timber-frame construction, Georgian townhouses, and Victorian villa stock all requiring breathable lime-based repair and specialist assessment.

Market Town Terracing

Leamington Spa, Rugby, Nuneaton, Bedworth

Victorian and Edwardian brick terracing with solid walls, lime mortars replaced with cement, and condensation misdiagnosed as rising damp.

Interwar & Rural Semis

Alcester, Southam, Shipston-on-Stour

Early cavity construction across the rural market towns, with the full range of moisture issues driven by blocked cavities, failed details, and condensation.

Rural Village Stock

Arden, Feldon, Avon valley villages

Traditional brick and stone construction in Warwickshire’s villages requiring breathable repair. SPAB-informed assessment is critical for these buildings.

How We Work Differently

Richard Bull’s SPAB membership and qualification in Energy Efficiency in Older & Traditional Buildings mean Warwickshire’s considerable historic stock is assessed by someone who genuinely understands how these buildings behave — and what happens when they are wrongly treated.

Independent, fee-only, no treatments sold. Professional thermal imaging carried on every survey and used as needed. A written report you can rely on.
