Damp Survey FAQs
A damp survey is a professional inspection that finds moisture problems in a property. Our surveyor looks for the cause, such as rising damp, condensation or water getting in from outside, and explains the best way to fix it. It is different from a general homebuyer survey: it focuses entirely on moisture, damp and timber issues. You can read more about our damp & water investigations.
Common signs of damp in a house include a musty smell, mould, peeling paint, damp patches and cold or wet walls. If you notice any of these, a survey can show what is causing them before you pay for repairs. Catching these signs early usually means a simpler and cheaper fix. For mould, see our mould & condensation advice.
Across the UK, an independent damp survey typically costs between £150 and £350. The exact price depends on the size of your property and the type of survey you need. Call 07738 572899 or send us a message and we will give you a firm quote before we visit.
Most damp inspections take 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the property. After the inspection, we send a detailed report that explains our findings and recommendations.
Companies that sell damp proofing may also recommend their own treatments. An independent damp survey has one focus: finding the real cause of the problem. Because we do not sell the treatments, there is no incentive to recommend work you do not need.
A pre-purchase damp survey is highly recommended, especially for older homes. It can show hidden damp or timber problems before you exchange contracts, so you know about possible repair costs first. It is a small cost compared with the price of fixing hidden damage later.
If you are not sure what is causing the problem, start with a survey. We find the cause first. For hidden leaks, our leak detection service uses specialist equipment to find leaks behind walls and under floors without causing unnecessary damage.
Condensation happens when warm, moist air meets a cold surface. Poor ventilation, high humidity and not enough heating can all lead to condensation and mould. Our mould & condensation advice service finds which cause applies to your home.
No. A homebuyer (or RICS) survey is a general check of a property’s overall condition. A damp survey is a focused investigation into moisture, damp and timber problems specifically. If damp is your concern, or a homebuyer survey has flagged it, a dedicated damp survey gives you the detailed answers.
Our report explains what is wrong and what needs doing, which puts you in a strong position to get accurate quotes. For exact repair prices, we recommend getting two or three quotes from reputable local contractors once you have our findings in hand.
