Types of Damp Surveys We Offer

Homebuyer Damp & Timber Survey £240
Designed specifically for prospective buyers, this detailed survey covers all accessible areas of the property and highlights any visible or potential damp and timber issues. It’s ideal as a supplement to a general homebuyer or building survey and is widely accepted by mortgage lenders and solicitors.

Includes:
• Full damp inspection throughout the property
• Timber assessment for signs of rot or woodworm
• Recommendations for any required treatments or repairs
• Clear, homebuyer-friendly written report

Best for: Pre-purchase checks, mortgage/solicitor requirements, buyer peace of mind.
Full Comprehensive Invasive Survey £450
Full Comprehensive Invasive Survey This is our most detailed survey — ideal when damp is suspected but not clearly visible, or when previous inspections were inconclusive. We carry out targeted invasive checks, including the removal of skirting boards, lifting floorboards, and drilling for material sampling.

Includes:
• Invasive inspection of concealed areas (e.g. subfloors, behind skirting)
• Calcium carbide testing (speedy meter) to determine true moisture levels
• Salts analysis to help confirm moisture sources (e.g. rising damp)
• Thermal imaging and access cameras where appropriate
• Fully detailed report with photos and recommendations

Important Disclaimer:

This survey involves minor disruption and may result in damage to floor coverings, plasterwork, or decoration during testing or access. We always seek permission before proceeding and take care to minimise impact.

Best for: Unexplained damp, insurance claims, technical verification, or large-scale remedial planning.
Basic Damp Survey (1–2 Rooms or Localised Issue) £140
A focused, non-invasive inspection ideal for isolated damp problems in one or two rooms. Using professional moisture meters, we assess visible signs of rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation. This is a cost-effective option for homeowners who have noticed a specific issue and want expert guidance without a full property survey.

Includes:

• Visual inspection of affected areas
• Surface moisture readings
• Verbal findings or a short written summary

Best for: Isolated issues, initial investigations, or peace of mind.

Condensation & Mould Assessment £160

Focused on identifying and resolving condensation-related issues. We assess ventilation, heating, insulation, and lifestyle factors that may contribute to surface damp and mould growth. Ideal for landlords, tenants, or owners dealing with persistent condensation.

Includes:
• Humidity and temperature checks
• Inspection for thermal bridging and airflow issues
• Advice on ventilation and insulation improvements
• Optional thermal imaging
• Written summary with practical recommendations

Best for: Mould complaints, rental properties, and modern buildings with poor ventilation.
Post-Remedial Damp Survey £140
A follow-up survey used to confirm whether previous damp-proofing works have been successful. We re-check moisture levels and report on drying progress, bridging issues, or reoccurring problems.

Includes:
• Moisture meter readings across treated areas
• Surface and in-depth moisture checks (non-invasive)
• Basic thermal imaging if required
• Confirmation of drying status and any remaining concerns

Best for: Property sales, warranties, builder verification, or ongoing monitoring.
