The worst of discoveries this weekend: there is significant damp throughout the ground floor of my new home/renovation project/money pit. The damp affects the solid floors and some of the walls. There could be several sources; pipe work behind kitchen units leaking under the vinyl floor, condensation, bridged / failed damp proof course. I've also discovered some rot, possibly dry rot (ironically) and a few woodworm flight holes which hadn't bothered me before. How the surveyor missed the damp is beyond me, I 'll certainly be pursuing him.
The best course of action seems to be to get it properly surveyed to identify root causes and treat, so any recommendations of good damp & wood rot firms in South Suffolk / North Essex??
Thanks
Jon
