Damp proofing

Know what the damp means before you commit

When you are buying or selling a home, damp is one of the things that can hold a sale up. A mortgage valuer or a home survey often flags "possible damp" and recommends a specialist report, and that is exactly what we provide.

We carry out a focused damp inspection of the property, take moisture readings and provide you with a clear written report that sets out what we found, whether it is rising, penetrating or condensation damp, how serious it is and what putting it right would involve. That provides buyers a firm footing to negotiate or proceed, and provides sellers something concrete to hand over instead of an open-ended worry. The report is independent and written in plain terms so everyone knows where they stand.

Common questions

Homebuyer Damp Survey questions

Is this the same as a full building survey?

No. It is a specialist damp report focused on moisture and timber, which is what a mortgage valuer or home survey usually asks for when damp is flagged.

How soon do I get the report?

We turn the written report around promptly after the visit, because sales tend to be waiting on it. We agree the timing when you book.

Can you also quote to fix what you find?

Yes. If you would like it, we can include a written quote for any remedial work alongside the report, but there is no obligation to have us carry it out.

How much does a damp survey cost?

We agree a fixed fee before the visit based on the size of the property and how much needs inspecting. There are no surprises on the invoice.

Can you survey before I make an offer?

Yes, with access arranged through the agent or vendor. An early report can help you decide whether to proceed and on what terms.
