Damp Surveys in Port Talbot
Independent damp surveys across Port Talbot, Neath and the Afan Valley. Honest diagnosis of damp issues in coastal and valley properties, no remedial sales.
Independent, evidence-based surveys
Port Talbot's coastal exposure, valley terraces and industrial-era housing produce a distinctive mix of damp problems. A proper damp survey starts with finding the actual cause.
Our independent damp survey Port Talbot service inspects walls, floors, chimneys, sub-floor voids and rainwater goods, using calibrated moisture meters and thermal imaging.
We don't sell damp-proofing, so the recommendations in your report are based only on what the property genuinely needs.
Common damp problems in Port Talbot properties
Coastal salt exposure
Aberavon and Sandfields properties face salt-laden wind that accelerates render and pointing failure.
Valley terraces
Afan Valley and Cwmavon terraces share solid-wall construction and exposure to driving rain.
Industrial-era stock
Post-war Margam and Sandfields housing often has cavity wall tie failure.
Bridged DPCs
Render carry-down, raised paths and rebuilt patios commonly bridge the damp-proof course.
Sub-floor ventilation
Blocked airbricks beneath suspended timber floors cause persistent damp and rot.
Misdiagnosed condensation
Many 'rising damp' problems are condensation needing ventilation, not chemical injection.

Why independent surveys matter
We don't sell treatments, chemicals, or remedial work. That means our only job is to find the truth and explain it to you clearly.
We don't sell damp-proof courses, chemical injections or tanking systems.
Every finding in our damp survey Port Talbot report is backed by moisture readings and photographs.
If your property doesn't need invasive treatment, we'll tell you straight. The right fix is often external repair and improved ventilation.
