‘After being quoted over £8,000 for dry rot treatments we contacted Forest Dampbusters for a second opinion and their timber survey and report concluded that the problem was wet rot and treatment was far less extensive and expensive than had been originally quoted for. I would definitely recommend Forest Dampbusters if you need an honest damp or timber survey’
