Tapco HomeDry has been continuously trading for four and a half decades and we have carried out many pre-purchase timber and damp surveys on properties in and around Oxfordshire. If you are considering buying a property you may have been advised by your surveyor or lender to obtain a damp or timber survey, or both. This is because a potential problem may have been found, for example, a damp wall, springy floor or even evidence of wood boring insects (Woodworm) or the dreaded Dry Rot Fungus (Serpula lacrymans).

We advise you check if there has been any previous damp or timber treatment carried out and if so whether there is a valid guarantee with a company that is a reputable member of the Property Care Association (PCA) and is still trading. If there is little or no history on what was carried out, do not take chances, call Tapco HomeDry, a company who are acknowledged as one of Oxfordshire, London and Home Counties most thorough and respected specialists in treating problems with Dry Rot and Woodworm, Rising Damp, Penetrating Damp and Water Damage.
