Commercial Damp and Timber Services Across Scotland

Wise Property Care have been operating across Scotland for decades providing property preservation services for a range of commercial clients, including building contractors, social housing providers, architects, developers and private landlords.

Whether it's damp proofing, structural waterproofing or timber treatments for woodworm or fungal decay, we are here to provide expert surveys and specialist remedial treatments.

No matter the size of the project, or where it is located in Scotland, we have a local team who can provide assistance. We have a number of local branches across Scotland, with CSRT and CSTDB qualified surveyors local to you.

We have vast experience working on restoration and regeneration projects, and will get the job done without unnecessary delays, while minimising disruption to tenants and offering cost-effective solutions.

Wise Property Care prides itself on the quality of our damp and timber surveys from our qualified surveyors.

The purpose of our survey process is to identify any issues that are causing damp or timber problems inside a premises. Often these problems can be complex and hidden in hard to reach areas, making it essential a thorough inspection is carried out both internally and externally.

We have a number of Property Care Association (PCA) accredited surveyors with either a CSRT (Certificated Surveyor in Remedial Treatment) or CSTDB (Certificated Surveyor of Timber and Dampness in Buildings) qualification.

Surveys are carried out to the highest industry standards, with all findings detailed in a survey report, along with any recommendations for treatments, if required.

All findings and diagnosis will be supported by diagrams, on site images and readings from a range of tools in order to support any conclusions.

Scotland is subject to a humid climate with high levels of rainfall which can lead to damp problems across the country, especially in coastal areas.

As many buildings across the country were built before damp proof courses became standard, and are of solid wall construction, they are susceptible to both rising damp and penetrating damp.

While many damp problems appear in similar ways, the treatment process differs, making accurate diagnosis of the source of the problem critical before any treatments can take place.

Whether the problem is caused by condensation, penetrating damp or rising damp, we can provide expert damp proofing solutions, preventing damage from moisture ingress and maintaining long term structural integrity. Often damp problems can lead to other issues such as woodworm, fungal decay and structural issues like wall tie failure.

Once a surveyor has accurately identified the problem that requires damp proofing, our technicians can then carry out specialist treatments.

Wise Property Care can provide timber treatments for a range of issues including woodworm, wet rot and dry rot. Many regeneration or commercial projects feature original timber beams, floors, or roofing timbers that can be vulnerable to woodworm and wood rot attacks.

Our surveyor will assess the condition of structural and decorative timber, identifying signs of fungal decay, woodworm infestations or structural concerns that may affect the structural integrity, stability or durability of timber.

While visible timber may be showing signs of decay, it is important to thoroughly examine the full extent of the problem, including in sub floor voids, behind panelling and in roof spaces.

Our surveyors use specialist tools and equipment to make sure nothing is missed, with all findings detailed in a survey report.

It's important to understand that damp problems are often the cause of timber decay, so these must also be identified and addressed. Solving these problems will prevent any further issues in the future, protecting your property or project long term.
