JPM Independent Surveyors

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!!

Jason surveyed a property we wanted to buy after damp issues were raised. His report was returned to us the same day as his inspection, but was completely comprehensive and also really easy for someone who has no experience of reading technical reports to understand. His professionalism was such that even though his report led to us negotiating a big price reduction on the property, the vendors told us that Jason was a great guy and that they were really impressed by his work. Can't recommend him enough.

Jason gave a highly detailed and informative report. The report was detailed with photographs showing areas of concern, remedial action recommended and overall opinion on condition of property. Extra information was also attached to the report with some product recommendations and advice as to why damp occurs and how to manage if not eradicate it.

We hired Jason to do an independent damp report for our basement flat. After having a few "free" surveys with the big damp companies in the past we were left confused about what was the cause and fix of the problem. Jason suggested modern solutions for damp proofing that are were not suggested to us by the previous companies. He provided a detailed report with suggestions for materials which has enabled us to quickly get quotes from lots of different companies. Overall he has saved us lots of time and money!

Arrived exactly on time, clearly explained issues he identified, written report very thorough and couldn't have been clearer.

I wanted a second opinion after a free damp survey suggested rising damp of my exterior walls. Jason was able to pinpoint the issues in my apartment and identified key remediation areas that fit the evidence. I would recommend his services for an impartial report of your damp issues.

My flat has some significant damp issues which has led to deteriorating plasterwork in 2 areas and I arranged for Jason Mahoney to conduct a damp survey on 29 April. Jason arrived on time and carried out a very thorough survey through the whole flat and the exterior. He was very knowledgeable and professional, asking me questions and explaining what he was finding as he went along. He then sent me a very detailed report the following day on his findings and some really helpful suggestions for repair of external walls, alternatives for damp proofing the badly affected interior walls and mitigation of water vapour and condensation. This has been a very valuable experience and I would happily recommend Jason to anyone who needs a damp survey carried out. Jason's work has potentially saved me many hundreds of pounds of unnecessary damp proofing work.

We contacted Jason based on the reviews on Which Trusted Trader as well as the credentials listed on his website (PCA member, CSRT Qualified, Approved by Islington Trading Standards). We had previously been disappointed by a local "damp proof specialist", who's report involved looking around only part of the property for 10 minutes. Jason not only carried out a detailed investigation, including taking moisture readings and testing extractor fan flow rates, but also compiled a thorough yet easy to understand report with clear recommendations. Very impressed.

We have just moved into our new house. Our homebuyer's survey had brought up a few damp spots to be further investigated, but nothing major. So I called a few people to take a look. I got the usual quickfire diagnoses that all the issues were caused by rising damp which would naturally mean boring holes all the way around the entire house to inject damp proof courses for hefty fees. I felt I wasn't well-informed enough to make the decision on what to do. It wasn't the costs as much, more I wanted to be confident that I was making the right decision. After looking into things properly I felt the only way to go was an independent survey by an expert. I came across Jason and JPM. From the first email communication, Jason was friendly, courteous and super-efficient. When he arrived, he conducted his survey and we spoke afterwards. His expert knowledge really was a joy to receive because he explains things so clearly. His report too is clear and concise and informs you of what needs doing and also gives a nod to what else would be prudent to do. My advice is to book Jason so that you are armed with all the information you need to conduct any work that actually needs doing. Having Jason's report gives you the power back. At my house, Jason found a localised penetrating damp spot which I could just fix myself at a very low cost. After analysing samples from my walls for ground salts, there wasn't even any rising damp. Must admit I'm rather proud of myself for making such a wise decision!
