Professional Dampness Surveys {{mpg_city}}
Every building is different. Different construction, different materials, different maintenance history etc. - although amidst all these differences there are many common principles.
We examine every building holistically. With a deep understanding of moisture movement, new and old buildings materials and building-friendly renovation practices, with a wide array of specialist tools, we find the root cause of any dampness problem.
We are often called to resolve challenging dampness problems and we resolved many of them successfully.
Our friendly surveyors explain you in plain English what's going on, how the dampness problem developed and what needs to be done to fix it for real. We discuss with you in detail potential solutions and timelines to permanently solve the problem. However, as always, the choice and decision is ultimately yours - we are only there to assist you.

Great people to deal with, very efficient and honest.
Although it turned out that my home did not have rising damp, Val nevertheless offered some very useful advice on how to manage the humidity in my home that can lead to mould. He also left me a leaflet to read with lots of information and followed up with an email. Very honest and knowledgeable tradesperson. Highly recommended!
