Independent Damp Specialists
At The Damp Specialist Company, we provide independent damp surveys across Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Richmond, Kingston, London, Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, Sussex, Kent and Buckinghamshire. As qualified damp surveyors, we focus on accurate diagnosis, identifying the true cause of damp rather than simply treating the symptoms.
Why Book a Damp Survey?
A professional damp survey helps protect your property and avoid unnecessary costs. Our surveyors carry out a full assessment to detect:
- Rising damp from ground water
- Penetrating damp from rainfall
- Leaks from plumbing, drains, and waste pipes
- Hygroscopic damp from contaminated materials
- Condensation from poor ventilation
Our Diagnostic Approach
We use a first principles method, combining inspection with data gathered from specialist equipment. This approach ensures our recommendations are based on fact, not assumption, saving homeowners, landlords, and buyers from costly mistakes.
Equipment Used During a Damp Survey
Each damp and timber survey includes a thorough inspection supported by modern tools such as:
- Moisture meters
- Thermal imaging cameras
- Hygrometers
- Endoscopic cameras
These allow us to identify hidden damp and confirm the extent of damage.
What to Expect in Your Report
Following every survey, you receive a plain-English report with clear findings, conclusions, and recommendations. The report highlights the type of damp, the likely source, and the most practical solutions. We also include photographic evidence for clarity.
Damp Survey Cost
Our damp survey is priced at £295 based on a standard three-bedroom semi-detached property. All prices exclude VAT. Each survey represents value by focusing on the root cause of damp, helping you avoid unnecessary waterproofing treatments.
Who Needs a Damp Survey?
Our clients include homeowners, landlords, property buyers, sellers, and agents. Whether you are moving house, investigating mould growth, or checking for flood damage, an independent survey provides certainty and peace of mind.
