We undertake an independent and thorough investigation of London property, identifying the symptoms of damp; from rising damp, condensation, mould, rot and woodworm to stains caused by leaks or penetrating damp.
Time and permission permitting, we will solve the causes of damp during the survey. A report is sent out about a day later detailing the root cause(s) of damp, our reasoning and estimated costs. We are independent, never benefitting from our recommendations.
With our damp and timber surveys, you can be sure there are never any conflicts of interest.

We are independent and never benefit from recommendations. We don’t sell, we survey.
Landlord
Most damp and mould in tenanted properties is caused by insufficient use of the ventilation. Understandably, tenants favour heat retention over ventilation.
We undertake an independent and thorough investigation of the symptoms of damp in the property identifying the root cause(s). We assess adequacy of the ventilation provided, make improvements and instruct tenants on the do’s and don’ts of keeping the property mould free.
A survey report is sent out about a week later.
Our surveys can be used at a tribunal (RICS qualified expert witness).
