Expert Damp Surveys

The Veteran Survey Company offers comprehensive, independent Damp, timber, and thermal imaging surveys across South Wales, including Bridgend, Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, and surrounding areas.

Why choose drone and aerial surveys?

A Damp Survey is a thorough inspection of a property that shows signs of potential damp or unwanted moisture damage. Damp is a prevalent issue in many residential and commercial properties, and if left untreated, it can escalate into significant structural problems.

We specialise in identifying rising damp, penetrating damp, dry rot, wet rot, woodworm, and black mould issues in all types of buildings.

Our expertise

In addition to conducting surveys on modern residential buildings, we adhere to BS7913:2013 and PAS 2035 specifications as well as the RICS joint statement of damp in traditional buildings.

These standards are designed for those who own, use, occupy, and manage traditionally built buildings, and it is valuable for decision-makers and funders. We are heritage qualified and accredited with full understanding and experience of listed, solid walled and traditional construction homes as found across South Wales. If you home was build before 1920 as a re many of the homes across our area, it is likely to fall into this category!

Alternately if you have a more modern built home, then it is likely that there are defects in workmanship or other items preventing it from functioning correctly. We are experts in how homes have been built over time and so have the relevant skillset to diagnose what is wrong with a modern home in a way few companies are able to do. Our associated sister company, feeds in with trade skills and knowledge allowing for current experience and knowledge on best practice and standards both for new builds and faults under NHBC rules as well as any properties that fall into the 1920 to not brand new status!
