Independent Damp Survey Chester
Evidence-led damp diagnostics for Chester homeowners and buyers. We trace moisture pathways, assess ventilation, and provide a clear action plan—without selling treatments.
Why independent matters in Chester
Chester’s mix of sandstone terraces, cavity wall estates and older townhouses often produces multiple moisture mechanisms at once. We focus on diagnosis rather than treatments, so you get a defensible explanation and staged priorities before you spend on remedial work.
Our surveys are RICS-aligned and grounded in measurable data—moisture mapping, ventilation assessment and psychrometrics—so you can brief contractors confidently or negotiate with sellers.
