JPM Independent Surveyors

I contacted JPM because of a problem with damp on the wall and ceiling of a room in my flat. I wanted to discover the true source/s of the problem before finding a builder or roofer to do the necessary repairs, as I was concerned about being ripped off with unnecessary repairs being undertaken. While the survey seemed a little expensive, it has proved to be worth every penny. JPM did a careful inspection of the whole flat, taking photos and using a moisture meter to detect problems. He also inspected the communal areas and external walls and went out onto the flat roof to take photos and check for problems. The following day he sent me a very clear and detailed report, including photographs and a detailed list of recommendations for repairs. In addition he added files advising on types of extractor fan, damp course and mortar etc. to be used in a repair. He was friendly and helpful and turned up on time. All in all, an absolutely excellent service!

My partner and I hired Jason for a damp survey on a house we're buying. Jason provided a thorough report on the same afternoon as his inspection, with easy-to-understand practical tips on how to mitigate any problems. We had a few follow-up questions on the report, which he answered promptly. Jason is keen to stress his independence - he's not tied to any damp-proofing firm, so he has no interest in selling any unnecessary products or damp-proofing. All in all, we'd recommend him for anyone looking for a professional, fast and non-invasive damp survey.

We were very impressed by Jason's work. It was easy to arrange a visit, the date and time were kept to, the survey itself was extensive and Jason answered all of my questions with enough detail to make it clear what our options were without drowning in jargon. The report was produced quickly and was comprehensive, giving us a clear steer on the remedial work needed and which areas were of most importance.

We were buying a Grade II listed Victorian house and were initially concerned about getting a pre-purchase damp survey as there are so many bad reports of operators in the industry. Of the people we contacted Jason stood out for his responsiveness and helpfulness, the survey was arranged and the report turned around quickly, it was clear and detailed with cost estimates for the work and extremely helpful recommendations. The price was also reasonable. We were very impressed and would highly recommend Jason to others.

Jason arrived on time and carried out a thorough investigation of the flat. He was friendly and explained some of the issues we had been concerned about while carrying out the survey. He supplied the full report on the same day and for such a great service, charged much less than we had been quoted by competitors.

I required a building survey to be carried out on inadequate work done by a roofing contractor. I contacted Jason Mahoney on the recommendation of Which Trusted Traders. He replied promptly, fixed a date and provided me with a full scope of the proposed survey. On the day he arrived promptly, undertook a very thorough survey and a full and very detailed report with a comprehensive list of recommendations was provided the following morning. I can thoroughly recommend his services.

Jason was highly responsive and professional from our first contact, and liaised with our estate agent to enter the property. Despite being very busy at the moment, Jason performed the survey in a very short time frame for us and returned the report on the day of the survey. The report is thorough, and the advice was clear and reasonable. I would highly recommend Jason and couldn't have expected any better service.

Jason Mahoney responded very quickly to my request for an independent survey and delivered his report and recommendations within 24 hours of the survey. He provided a clear and comprehensive report with useful recommendations to address the dampness in my flat. I was impressed with his detailed explanations of the causes of the damp problems and how he considered the options for dealing with the problems carefully. His independence from commercial vested interests was invaluable in helping me to make balanced decisions about the best way forward.

Jason carried out an intrusive damp survey. He responded quickly to the request to do it, and carried it out efficiently. He was happy to explain what he was doing along the way. He produced the report in a couple of days, and it was very clear and well explained. He seems to be very well informed about this area, and we are grateful for his help.

I contacted Jason last minute as we were against the clock to get a damp and timber report for our mortgage offer (the condition appeared in the offer paperwork and we had to complete within days). Jason really went above and beyond. He luckily had a cancellation the next morning. Jason inspected the property, and provided a thorough and flawless report with full costings (and lots of helpful additional information) before the end of the day. He really saved the day and we can’t thank him enough. In addition to allowing us to meet the deadline- the report he provided gives us the confidence that we understand the damp issues (very old property), and the work involved before we purchase. Truly exceptional- thank you!!
