When it comes to common problems in your home or commercial premises, damp is one of them. The good news is that there are damp proofing services available to help. Mercian Preservation offers a comprehensive service for damp proofing, wood preservation, basement conversions, timber treatment condensation control, woodworm and dry and wet rot.

The UK averages around 33.7 inches of rain every year, and that can vary greatly from region to region. With that amount of rainfall, damp can be a real issue for many houses or businesses. Mercian Preservation are the leading company for providing damp proofing or damp treatment in the Dudley area.

We offer an extensive survey service by a qualified specialist surveyor to identify existing or potential issues in your current property or for a property you plan on purchasing. Mercian Preservation also offers a specialist survey and treatment service for period or listed buildings, and our experience in this area means that you can trust us to carry out any required work with the least amount of disruption.
Services
At Mercian Preservation, we offer our clients a full range of professional damp testing reports undertaken by fully experienced surveyors. From pre-purchase damp proof surveys for house buyers to basement waterproofing surveys and water damage restoration surveys for commercial and period buildings, we do it all.
If you suspect that you have damp in your home, you will want to make sure that you have it treated as quickly as possible. What you may not realise is that damp can come in a variety of forms. Whilst you can look online to see what the most common signs and symptoms are of damp within a property, you may not be able to accurately tell which type of damp you have to deal with.
If you are thinking of buying a property or you own a property that is suffering from dampness or timber decay issues and would like to know the extent or have the problems fixed, you need an expert that knows about dampness and timber decay/infestation. Mercian Preservation can help you address timber rot and other damp problems in your office or commercial premises.
When working with the repair and renovation of period buildings, there is simply no substitute for experience. Mercian Preservation has over 40 years' experience successfully preventing damp damage and providing damp proofing services for historic, national and regional landmarks across Birmingham.
There can be multiple factors which can lead to damp in your residential or commercial premises, and if damp does get into the structure of your building, then it can lead to further problems such as wood rot, dry rot, or wet rot. Mercian Preservation have many years of experience in dealing with all damp related issues.

Alastair, who came to visit my property was very honest in his findings and did not try and push any of his services. He advised me on what methods to take to fix a condensation issue. Other surveyors have visited and tried to tell me they would need to hack walls and all sorts. I would definitely recommend Mercian to anyone that is after a genuine survey.

After having damp highlighted on my home survey report I contacted Mercian Preservation to attend site to provide a damp report. I am very pleased with the service as the company were so helpful from the very beginning and provided the report within the same week.
If your buying a home and need a further damp report I would definitely recommend this company!

Very poor service, waited two and a half weeks for a reply about the T&D report we ordered, no phone calls or emails returned only to receive an email on Tuesday informing us that the report had never been booked. Really disappointing and a major delay on our mortgage offer. Would never recommend this company.

I have just had the damp in my conservatory corrected by Alistair and his team. This is the third time I have used their services and would definitely recommend them. The plastering after the work was done was perfect and they cleaned everything up after them. Thank you

Wanted some advice about damp proofing lady at the other end of a phone was really helpful. I know that years ago damp proofing surveys were free but things have changed they all seem to charge a fee now. I have been phoning around and Mercian appears to be the cheapest at £ 70 and that's for a damp and timber survey. Compared to other common charging over £150. Mercian to have been around for a number of years and is reliable so I will be getting in contact with them to don't us a survey.
