Homebuyers Survey
Buying a new home is an incredibly significant investment, so it makes sense that we should leave no stone unturned when ensuring a property is the right one for us. If you are thinking about purchasing a property in the London area, we provide a comprehensive damp survey that will assess the situation of your potential home and could save you thousands. Request your home buyers' damp report today and make an informed decision before buying your next home.

Why Go with a Professional Damp Survey
To the untrained eye, and without the proper tools, everything could seem fantastic on the surface. However, it isn't unheard of for people to buy a property they think is perfect until a few months down the line when signs of dampness start to show. Often, this is because the previous owner has paid for quick-fix and cheap repairs. If this has happened to a property, it stands to reason that the dampness issue was never resolved, and it has been getting worse, damaging the structural integrity and the woodwork within the walls. Unfortunately, when dampness isn’t properly addressed, it will keep resurfacing, and in the most severe cases, it could cost thousands in repairs.
This is where our expertise comes in. We can come to your property and check every nook and cranny for signs of damp, previously shoddy work, and the potential for future issues. Our team uses expert knowledge and state-of-the-art technology to ensure nothing gets missed. By utilising our diagnostic technology and experience, you can make a much more educated decision when purchasing your property.
You should never agree to purchase a new home without an understanding of what you are buying. Sometimes, big problems are not visible to the naked eye, so contact our expert damp survey team today. Nearly every old property in London will have some sort of issue with dampness, but with our help, we can locate it and address it, ensuring your money doesn’t go to waste. With a 30-year guarantee on every bit of work we carry out, you can rely on us to get the job done properly.

What You Can Expect
When you book with us, we will send a professional damp surveyor kitted out with all the best tools to identify dampness in your walls. They will carefully examine the interior and exterior of the home while checking for potential concerns, such as gaps in window frames or damaged brickwork. They will also use specialised equipment to look inside your walls to see anything that isn't visible from the outside. The external inspection will cover every external area of the property, including the roof, gutters, pointing, and downpipes. The interior inspection will check for signs on every wall, floor, and ceiling within the property.
This process will help them identify any condensation, penetrating damp, rising damp, and other areas of concern. They will give you a full report of the humidity and moisture levels in your home, any dampness they have discovered, and advice on structural issues, landscaping, drainage, and ventilation that will help ensure your home remains damp-free forever. This detailed report can be used to help determine the home’s value and strike a much fairer deal. Our team are professional and transparent and strives to ensure you make an informed decision.

Our Damp Proofing Survey Packages
If you are buying or selling a property or would like us to check your walls for moisture, mould, or water ingress, you have three primary choices, and you can opt for a lab analysis of your plaster. Here is how much our professional damp survey costs:
Level 1 Survey: £199 + VAT
Our level one damp survey consists of a thorough inspection of the interior and exterior of the property, checking walls, ceilings, and floors for signs of dampness.
Level 2 Survey: £299 + VAT
As well as assessing the walls, floors, and ceilings of the interior and exterior of the property, our Level 2 survey also includes an analysis of the wooden structures and loft timbers of the home. This ensures we can identify wood rot, woodworm, or any potential risks.
Level 3 Survey: £399 + VAT
Level 3 covers everything from Levels 1 & 2, as well as the use of high-tech kit to help us gain a deeper perspective of the dampness and humidity of your property. This includes thermal imaging, air humidity testing, borescope camera inspection, ventilation flow tests, drone imagery, and more.
Add on, Lab analysis of plaster: £299 +VAT
This package is available as an add-on to the level survey you choose. We will take ten plaster samples from around the home and take them to the lab for testing. This allows us to gain an incredibly accurate insight into the level of moisture in your walls.

The Tools and Methods We Use to Get the Job Done Right
These are the advanced tools and methods we use to ensure we can find where damp might be hiding.

Thermal imaging camera
This detects the variation in temperature within the walls of your home, allowing us to see hidden leaks, damp, and problems with insulation.

Damp Meter
This is what we use to get an accurate measurement of moisture content inside building materials like bricks and mortar.

Humidity Tester
With this bit of kit, we can assess the relative humidity in the air and see a building’s risk of moisture and condensation.

Ventilation Flow Test
This tool measures the airflow through vents and extractor fans, allowing us to see if there are any issues that might promote dampness.

Hammer Electrode
This tool penetrates surfaces to check for moisture hidden deep within walls. It is perfect for use on plaster, concrete, and brickwork.

Drone Imagery
By taking aerial photos of the property, we can check the integrity of the roof, the condition of the gutters and identify hard-to-see external damp spots.

Lab Analysis
We take wall material and plaster salts back to the lab to help us determine the severity of the case and what type of damp a property has.

Borescope Camera
This is how we capture images of internal walls. We use a small drill for the camera to enter, and away we go.
