About

Solving Damp, Not Selling Myths

Our mission is to demystify damp and thereby resolve complex damp issues with practical, effective solutions—avoiding unnecessary, damaging treatments like "rising damp" fixes.

We created damp.ai —a free, multilingual A.I. tool to diagnose damp issues from symptoms, offering easy fixes, YouTube explainers, and monitoring tips.

If damp.ai doesn’t solve your issue, book a survey (£500+, location-dependent): Book Online: DampSurveys.com/book . Note: we only accept online bookings, not by phone or email.

With just 20 surveys/month, lead times are 3–8 weeks (last-minute slots sometimes available).

Our independence is your advantage. Unlike much of the industry, as highlighted in this: https://which.co.uk/news/2011/12/damp-proofing-companies-exposed-in-which-investigation-274087, sadly the damp-proofing industry is plagued by conflicts of interest and misleading advice.

Simon and his team went above and beyond. They were super kind, courteous and helpful even before the appointment and this continued to an even higher standard for the visit and subsequent report. 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.

I live in a converted building with 4 other leaseholders. One of the flats has had ongoing damp issues. Using a damp solutions business diagnosis of rising damp, the freeholder had previously signed off, and was continuing to recommend, very expensive damp course treatments. This was affecting all flats adversely from a financial point fo view. As leaseholders, we had some concerns about the costs and plans which were furthered by research on the subject. Eventually this led us to Simon and Damp Surveys. Simon performed a forensic survey of the flat in question. His commitment to work and follow up questions was second to none. Rising damp was immediately ruled out (we are in London) and upon delivering the survey, we had a very clear set of actions to address the issues. This did not include very expensive damp course treatments that would have been ineffective anyway. Had we used Simon's service originally, we would have saved well over £15k. We have managed to save £10k anyway. If you have damp issues, before you go anywhere near a damp solutions company, speak to Simon. You will save money. You will have a far more specific set of solutions that will fix your issues correctly, rather than misdiagnosing them.

Simon was very polite and competent, and gave a thorough report on all areas of the house that we had damp problems with. He even did a bit of handiwork fixing broken extractor fans, so went beyond the call of duty for a damp report! Report came back within a few days and covered all our options to fix the problems. Took all sensible precautions against spreading COVID

Simon arrived promptly and observed appropriate covid precautions. The survey was thorough, and Simon clearly and simply answered all my queries regarding the science underlying the many and varied damp issues from which my cottage suffers. Specialist equipment was used to photograph & record water content, temperatures and relative humidity in normally inaccessible places (eg high roof area, under floorboards, within plaster). The 21 page written survey arrived in less than one week, and was extremely detailed and clear, with photographs and meter readings. It also gave numerous links to useful non- commercial websites for further information. Suggestions for solutions to the problems recorded were made. Simon was at all times helpful and professional, and I can warmly recommend him and his company to everyone.

Simon conducted a thorough inspection of the property, looking at all possible sources of damp inside and out. He explained what was causing the problems (excess humidity caused by insufficient ventilation) and supplied clear and helpful recommendations in his report. Simon took time to answer my questions, conducted his investigations in a careful manner and remained courteous and polite at all times. As a result, I feel much better-informed and confident about the 'next steps'. Thanks, Simon.

Very pleased with the professionalism of the damp survey. It made perfect sense and gave good advice on how to improve the issues identified. Above all it was independent unlike surveys linked to selling rectification services. The costing of recommended work was very low compared to what we were afraid we might have to spend. Money well spent.
