At Olympic Surveyors., we are a PCA and RICS regulated specialist timber inspection company, equipped with state-of-the-art technology that sets our timber surveys apart.
Our timber surveyors hold industry-recognised CSRT qualifications and credentials from the Institute of Wood Science, bringing decades of experience to each inspection. We specialise in:
Identifying the causes of timber dampness
Determining the types of fungal decay or insect infestations affecting your timbers
Dry timbers are resistant to decay and insect infestations (such as woodworm). For decay or infestations to establish, timbers must be exposed to a moisture source over an extended period.
Our surveyors use advanced inspection and testing tools to locate moisture sources, including:
Flying drones for high-level inspections
Subfloor crawler drones for hard-to-reach areas (minimising invasive damage)
Insulated and hammer probes to assess moisture levels deep within timbers
We are one of the few timber surveying specialists in the UK to utilise IML Resi-PD high-speed needle drills (1.5 to 5.0 mm diameter). These drills penetrate up to 400 mm into wooden structures, measuring drilling resistance to detect:
Decay
Insect damage
Cracks
Hidden structural issues
The results are visually represented in graph form, showing timber hardness and the extent of decay or infestation, aiding structural integrity assessments by engineers.
At Olympic Surveyors., we recognise the immense value of preserving historical timbers in buildings. This practice:
Honours architectural heritage
Reduces environmental impact by minimising the need for new materials
Saves money by being more cost-effective than full timber replacements
By restoring original timbers, we safeguard the authenticity and character of historic buildings while making a smart investment for both property owners and the planet.
