Surveys
We adopt building pathology to provide a systematic and scientific approach to diagnosing and resolving damp and mould issues. Instead of treating only visible symptoms, our method investigates the underlying causes, such as water ingress, poor ventilation, or structural defects. Through careful inspection, moisture analysis, and environmental assessment, we can accurately identify the source of damp whether it's rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation and recommend targeted, long-term solutions. This approach ensures effective remediation, prevents recurrence, and protects both the building's integrity and occupants' health.
Free Consultation
This initial engagement will allow us to understand the issue fully and identify the most cost-effective next steps. As part of this process, we will provide free advice outlining the options available to the property owner to help address the problem. Where appropriate, we may also recommend further detailed surveys to determine the most effective course of action to eliminate the issue and restore the property to a mould-free, healthy condition.
Proactive and Reactive Damp and Mould Surveys
Our proactive and emergency damp and mould surveys are designed to identify and address damp-related issues before they escalate or provide urgent solutions to existing problems. A proactive survey is typically scheduled as a preventative measure, where our specialist surveyor assesses a property for signs of damp, condensation, or water ingress, providing recommendations to mitigate future risks. We can also undertake an emergency survey to assess immediate concerns, such as visible mould growth or persistent dampness that may pose health risks or compromise the structure of the property. Both types of surveys include detailed assessments, prompt reporting, and tailored solutions to effectively manage and resolve damp and mould issues, ensuring the property remains safe, healthy, and well-maintained.
Home Buyer's Damp Investigation Survey
A home buyer's damp investigation survey is a crucial service for prospective property owners to assess the condition of a property before purchase. The survey specifically focuses on identifying potential damp issues, such as rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation, that could affect the structural integrity or livability of the home. It involves a thorough inspection of walls, floors, roofs, and ventilation, often using moisture meters and other diagnostic tools when required. The results help buyers understand the extent of any damp related problems, the potential costs of repairs, and whether the property is a sound investment. This survey provides valuable peace of mind by uncovering hidden issues that could otherwise be costly to resolve post-purchase.
Timber Surveys
This survey focuses on identifying both damp issues and timber-related problems, such as woodworm, rot, or fungal decay. We use a range of diagnostic tools, including moisture meters and visual inspections, to assess the extent of damp infiltration, as well as the health of timber components like beams, joists, and flooring. The survey provides a detailed report on the severity of any damage, recommended treatments or repairs, and long-term prevention strategies, ensuring that any issues are identified before they escalate into costly structural problems.
Ventilation Surveys
A ventilation survey assesses the airflow and ventilation systems within a property to ensure optimal air quality and prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to issues like damp, mould, or condensation. During the survey, we inspect ventilation outlets, such as vents, air bricks, and extractor fans, to determine whether they are functioning correctly and meet current building regulations. We also evaluate indoor air circulation to identify any areas of stagnation or insufficient airflow. The results of the survey help homeowners or building managers understand potential ventilation deficiencies, allowing them to make improvements that enhance comfort, health, and energy efficiency within the property.
