Persistent damp can undermine a property’s condition, its value, and the health of the people living in it. Our Damp Investigation Report identifies the actual cause of damp through on-site inspection and moisture readings, with clear, evidenced findings and recommendations.
We do not sell damp-proofing, tanking, or remedial treatments. Our only interest is in diagnosing the problem accurately, so our findings aren’t shaped by what we might sell as a follow-on. Whether the cause is rising, penetrating, condensation or otherwise, you get an unbiased answer you can act on.
With Awaab’s Law expected to extend to the private rented sector under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025, agents will need documented, independent evidence of the cause of damp and mould in a property, and a clear basis for deciding what action is required and how urgently. Our reports provide that evidence.
If you’re dealing with damp and don’t know why, or you’ve had conflicting advice from a damp-proofing company, an independent investigation gives you an unbiased answer before you commit to remedial work.
Every investigation is a thorough, evidence-led assessment of the affected areas — inside and out — designed to pinpoint the cause rather than treat the symptom.
A written report in plain English, setting out what we found and where, the likely cause(s) based on evidence rather than assumption, practical recommendations for what should be done and by whom, and photographs supporting the findings.
Areas covered: Bristol and the surrounding BS postcode area, including Weston-super-Mare, Clevedon, Portishead and Nailsea.
