Damp, Mould and Property Preservation Specialists Across Milton Keynes
Procure Group Ltd carries out damp investigations, mould and condensation assessments, timber inspections and below-ground damp protection throughout Milton Keynes and the surrounding north Buckinghamshire towns, from Bletchley, Wolverton and Stony Stratford to Newport Pagnell, Woburn Sands, Buckingham, Winslow and Olney. Every enquiry begins with establishing what is actually causing the moisture, not with a treatment recommendation.
Milton Keynes was designated as a new town in 1967, so the great majority of its housing was built from the 1970s onwards. A significant proportion of that stock is timber frame behind a brick or rendered outer leaf, which behaves quite differently to traditional masonry when it gets wet: the outer skin is expected to be damp, the cavity and breather membrane do the work, and a meter reading taken on the inside face tells you very little on its own. Damp-proofing a timber-frame wall for suspected rising damp is rarely appropriate.
Alongside the new city are older settlements that predate it. Wolverton's railway terraces, the historic cores of Stony Stratford, Newport Pagnell, Buckingham, Winslow and Olney, and the stone and brick cottages of the surrounding villages are solid-wall buildings with entirely different moisture behaviour. The same reported symptom can therefore have very different causes a couple of miles apart, which is why the construction is established before anything is recommended.

Frequently asked questions
Is Milton Keynes covered under Bedfordshire on your site?
No. Milton Keynes has its own page because it is a separate unitary authority with very different housing stock. The MK40 to MK45 districts around Bedford and Kempston sit under Bedfordshire, and MK1 to MK19 plus MK46 sit here.
Do you cover Buckingham, Winslow, Newport Pagnell, Woburn Sands and Olney?
Yes. Those fall within the MK16, MK17, MK18 and MK46 districts, all of which we work in. If a postcode falls outside our operating area the website will tell you plainly rather than take the enquiry.
My house is timber frame. Does that change the inspection?
It changes what the evidence means. Timber-frame construction needs the wall build-up, the cavity, the breather membrane and the airflow provision considered together, rather than surface readings treated as a diagnosis. It is one of the most common reasons we advise against damp proofing that has been quoted elsewhere.
