Whether you're worried about damp, concerned about timber decay, or need a specialist report for a property purchase, Advanced Preservation Specialists provide comprehensive damp and timber surveys across Central Scotland.
As Glasgow's longest-running PCA registered preservation company, our qualified surveyors deliver accurate diagnosis, not guesswork. We cover Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire, providing detailed reports you can trust.
Not every damp patch needs treatment. Not every bit of timber damage is active. The difference between an accurate diagnosis and a misdiagnosis can cost you thousands in unnecessary work, or leave a serious problem untreated.
Our PCA-qualified surveyors don't just look at the symptoms. They investigate the cause: checking the external envelope, moisture sources, ventilation and timber condition throughout your property. Only then do we recommend treatment, and only if it's genuinely needed.
A professional survey gives you clarity, protects your investment, and ensures any work carried out actually solves the problem.
