About

Empower yourself by exploring past damp surveys and their solutions, grounded in our transparent, root cause, evidence-based approach at https://dampsurveys.com/cases. Avoid costly, damaging, and unnecessary damp proofing treatments or inappropriate ventilation.

When you are successful, please share a review with before-and-after photos to help demystify damp issues. Remember, a damp wall can take 6 - 9 months to dry out.

Damp Surveys Ltd specialises in resolving London's most complex damp problems, often involving leaks, penetrating damp, hygroscopic salts, and condensation, but no genuine cases of rising damp (the damp proofing industry's little secret). Due to high demand, our survey slots are limited: https://dampsurveys.com/booking-request.

Our independence is your advantage. As highlighted in the Which? report at https://which.co.uk/news/2011/12/damp-proofing-companies-exposed-in-which-investigation-274087, the damp proofing industry is plagued by conflicts of interest and misleading advice.

We asked Simon for a survey having had one from Kenwood as a requirement of our mortgage lender. Our intention was simply to obtain a second opinion in case there was a retention on our mortgage offer. Simon's report was both detailed and informative and while we did not have a retention on the mortgage, we have now received some very useful and cost effective advice regarding damp in the property andwe feel confident that once we move in the major issues will be solved. We highly recommend Simon.

Simon was very professional, arrived on time and conducted a thorough survey answering any questions we had. He clearly identified the problem which was contrary to our buyers damp proof company’s review. We had a comprehensive report with full detail and costing for remedial work required.

Thorough and reassuring survey of our flat

Simon from Damp Surveys did a survey on our lower-ground floor flat, in a 100-year old terrace. His survey was thorough and detailed, and reassuringly he said there was only minor damp caused by condensation. He also suggested remedial actions, with an estimated cost for the works involved. This was all very useful - it was reassuring that the condition of the flat was not bad, and it was also reassuring that remedial works could be done quite cheaply. He also offered to speak to our prospective buyers, and they were reassured after a conversation with him. So I recommend Damp Surveys - if you have any kind of problem with damp, this survey will be money well-spent.

Following a mortgage valuation report on a property I was looking to purchase I had to engage the services of a professional damp expert for a more detailed survey. Simon was recommended to me and he did not disappoint. As an independent surveyor you have the comfort of knowing he is not going to look for unnecessary work to increase his revenue. It is a fixed fee and an objective service - exactly what I needed. He took the time and care to not only explain to me what he was going to do during the survey but also afterwards kept in regular contact and produced a very professional report with his findings, recommendations and further explanations. For anyone needing expert, independent advice on any damp-related issues I would definitely recommend Simon for the job!

I had been concerned for some time about the presence of mold at floor level and apparent damp patches on the ceiling suggesting either leaking roof or penetrating damp. The survey was thorough and accompanied by full explanation of the findings and origins of the problems. Various solutions presented varying from simply opening windows to installing electric fans in previously unknown cavities within the building and various ways of monitoring the situation. Reassuring and competent.

He was highly knowledgeable, and practical suggesting cost-effective and straight forward solutions to resolve the issues to the satisfaction of me and my neighbours. In this day and age is it is truly rare to receive such good service.

Simon is a fantastic person, and knows what he's talking about! The report is packed full of excellent ideas and he even left a little gadget to monitor relative humidity levels.

I was very pleased with the work undertaken by Simon. He was very thorough, took time to inspect the property and provided a detailed report with clear recommendations. Simon explained clearly what he was doing and his findings. The work was completed quickly and to the agreed cost. I also appreciated the independent viewpoint that you might not get from a builder. I strongly recommend.
