Independent Damp Specialists You Can Trust
At The Damp Specialist Company, we are proud to be an independent surveying and consulting business serving clients across Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Richmond, Kingston, London, Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, Sussex, Kent and Buckinghamshire. As specialist damp surveyors, we focus solely on accurate diagnosis, providing clear, unbiased advice that identifies the true causes of moisture problems. By addressing the source rather than the symptoms, we help homeowners, landlords, and property professionals protect their buildings, avoid unnecessary treatments, and make confident long-term decisions.
Our Story
Founded to provide a genuine alternative to treatment-led companies, our business was built on the principle of accurate diagnosis first. We recognised that too many properties were being given costly, unnecessary waterproofing treatments that only addressed the symptoms, not the cause.
What Makes Us Different
We focus on thorough, evidence-based surveys rather than selling remedial work. This approach not only saves clients money but also ensures buildings are preserved properly for the long term.
Our Expertise
We are PCA-qualified as Certificated Surveyors in Timber and Dampness in Buildings. Our team is fully qualified, with recognised training and certifications including IICRC Water Damage Restoration Technician and Applied Structural Drying. Combined with years of on-site experience, this ensures accurate, professional assessments every time.
Equipment and Methods
We use the latest equipment to support our surveys, including damp meters, thermal imaging cameras, hygrometers, and endoscopic cameras. This allows us to detect hidden issues, measure moisture accurately, and deliver reports that can be trusted by insurers, landlords, and property owners.
