Damp Surveys

To effectively diagnose dampness and other moisture-related concerns, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of both the equipment being utilized and the construction characteristics of the property in question. A solid grasp of building construction, as well as the age of the property, is critical; without this knowledge, identifying damp issues may prove challenging, and any associated remedial measures, such as tanking, are likely to be ineffective. It is important to address the underlying causes of dampness before implementing any solutions.


I am among a small selection of RICS surveyors with 25 years experience  in moisture and flooding issues, with being impartial, and independent. I do not recommend specific companies or contractors; instead, I provide factual assessments of the issues at hand and options for resolution. The choice of contractor or builder remains yours to make.


When searching for a moisture surveyor or specialist, it is common to encounter damp proofing companies. Please be aware that many of these organizations may not be impartial and may have alternative motives for promoting their surveys or offering them at no cost. It is advisable to exercise caution in your selection and conduct thorough research of your surveyor and their knowledge before commissioning them.
