Full Damp Surveys
A full damp survey provides a comprehensive inspection of the property to identify the source of damp, moisture ingress, or condensation-related issues. The survey includes moisture testing, building assessment, and a detailed written report outlining findings and recommended next steps.
Condensation & Humidity Surveys
A condensation and humidity survey evaluates internal humidity levels, ventilation performance, heating patterns, and building characteristics to determine why condensation is forming. The report provides practical recommendations to help control indoor moisture levels
Common Damp Types We Check For
Understanding the type of damp affecting a property is essential to ensuring the correct solution is applied. Our surveys identify the underlying cause of moisture problems so appropriate remedial action can be taken
Condensation
Condensation occurs when excess indoor moisture meets cold surfaces, often due to ventilation, heating, or insulation factors. Identifying the cause helps prevent mould growth and recurring moisture issues
Penetrating Damp
Penetrating damp results from water entering the building through external defects such as walls, roofs, or openings. Early identification helps prevent internal damage to finishes and building materials
Rising Damp
Rising damp affects lower wall areas where ground moisture moves upward through masonry. Correct diagnosis ensures appropriate repairs are carried out where necessary
Timber Moisture Risk
Excess moisture affecting timber elements can lead to deterioration over time if not addressed. Identifying moisture conditions early helps protect structural timber and building integrity

Why Independence Matters
Independent surveys ensure the inspection focuses entirely on diagnosing the problem rather than recommending unnecessary treatments. This provides clear understanding and helps you avoid paying for work that may not be required
Why Addressing Damp Early Is Important
Moisture problems can gradually damage finishes, contribute to mould growth, and lead to more significant repair requirements if left uninvestigated. Early diagnosis helps maintain the long-term condition and value of the property
