What a damp survey is for
Moisture can enter a home in different ways. A survey investigates the affected areas and considers the building as a whole, so recommendations address the likely source rather than simply covering a stain.
Tell us what you have noticed
Let us know which rooms are affected, how long the problem has been visible and whether it changes after rain or during colder weather. Previous reports and photographs can help explain the history.

Your questions, answered.
Is every damp patch rising damp?
No. Moisture may come from leaks, condensation, rain penetration or other building defects. The cause needs to be investigated before a treatment is selected.
Is a survey the same as a homebuyer report?
A specialist damp survey focuses on moisture-related concerns. If you need a wider building survey for a purchase, confirm that separately with your appointed surveyor.
How much does a damp survey cost?
Contact us with your postcode and a brief description of the property. We will confirm the scope and any charge before an appointment is agreed.
