Damp and timber problems are some of the most mis-diagnosed and mis-treated areas in the whole spectrum of housing, simply because clients put their trust in complete strangers who have a vested interest in selling them treatments of one kind or another.
Most people have no idea whether these treatment will actually work and often they are never told of the alternatives that may be available. What's more, they can be encouraged to contact unreliable companies by building society surveyors, who regularly advise mortgage applicants and others to consult a specialist company.
Unfortunately they seldom clarify exactly what it is they mean by 'specialist' and people very often contact any local advertiser who offers them a sweetener in the form of a free survey.
The survey may be free, but the subsequent bill for unecessary repairs and treatments may be enormous!
