Blackfen damp subfloor assessment
Damp Subfloor Assessment is primarily a diagnosis job: what has failed, what can stay, and what must be prepared before the finish goes down. For Blackfen properties, we inspect the floor in person, explain the options and provide a written quote. The result may be extra drying time, a suitable moisture-control system or a different floor specification; it should never be guessed.
