    Damp Survey of Roof Timbers

    Posted 28 April

    We reached out to Active Services for a quote for a Damp Survey on a house we were buying after the Home Survey had found a leak in the roof and advised to contract a PCA Registered company to confirm any damage/rot to the timbers. Fran was quick to reply and a pleasure to deal with. She prepared a tailored inspection for us and gave the option for a targeted inspection of the effected area or a whole roof timber inspection. The damp survey was booked and completed promptly by one of their team and the reportgave us peace of mind in our purchase. I would definitely recommend this company.

    Fantastic, high quality service

    Posted 16 January

    Active Services were brilliant from start to finish in treating a woodworm infestation for us. They provided a comprehensive survey report and clearly articulated expert advice. The team accommodated us very quickly and the works were completed to a high standard. The admin team were also fantastic with very good communication. We would highly recommend Active Services.

    Professional, Reassuring service at a fair price.

    Posted 16 December 2025

    Fran on reception and Toby the surveyor couldn’t have been more helpful and professional and went above and beyond to ensure we were seen as soon as possible. We were given an accurate report of Toby’s findings as well. Such is a big relief knowing we can have our new bathroom flooring fitted with confidence of the flooring and any damage done from the leaks. Would highly recommend them to anyone.
