Request a fixed quoteWhat you get
A damp survey should answer two questions clearly: what is happening and what to do next. We focus on root cause diagnosis and repair-first recommendations.
- Moisture mapping to confirm source, spread and urgency.
- Internal inspection with context-led interpretation (patterns, ventilation, cold spots).
- External inspection to trace pathways (rainwater goods, masonry, ground levels, detailing).
- Photographic evidence with prioritised remedial actions and sequencing.
From £495

Common damp and moisture issues locally

Why independence matters
Many "free" damp surveys are sales visits. We do not sell treatments or remedial works, so the report stays impartial and focused on the most effective repairs.
FAQs
How much does a damp survey cost in Boughton?
Fees start from £495. Final pricing depends on property size, access and symptom complexity. We confirm a fixed quote before booking.
Do you sell damp treatments or carry out remedial works?
No. We provide independent diagnosis and reporting only—so recommendations are evidence-led and not tied to selling products or repairs.
What does a damp survey in Boughton include?
Moisture profiling, internal and external inspection, likely pathway identification (rainwater goods, masonry, ground levels, ventilation), and a written report with photos and prioritised next steps.
Will lenders, insurers or solicitors accept the report?
Yes. Reports are evidence-based with photographs and clear remedial priorities, making them useful for mortgage lending queries, insurance discussions and purchase negotiations.
How do you tell condensation from penetrating damp?
We assess symptom patterns, ventilation and heating context, thermal bridging risk, external defects and material performance. Condensation typically clusters on cold surfaces; penetrating damp is often defect-driven and localised to exposure points.
How quickly will I receive the report?
We provide a summary call on the day and issue the written report within 2–3 working days in most cases.
