Different moisture problems can look very similar.
Rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, timber decay and beetle infestation can all affect the same property in different ways.
Not every job requires a full damp survey. DampMaster offers a range of survey types tailored to the specific concern, including full property damp surveys, condensation and mould surveys, localised surveys, pre-purchase surveys, and timber and woodworm surveys. Each is scoped to the actual issue at hand, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
This means customers only pay for the level of investigation genuinely needed, whether that is a targeted look at a single area of concern or a comprehensive assessment of the whole property.
Each full survey is a comprehensive property inspection using diagnostic equipment including infrared laser analysis, thermal imaging, moisture meters and indoor air quality testers. We assess from the ground up, covering roofing, external render, elevated ground levels, window sealants, water services, gutters and downpipes, to identify the true cause of damp. A complete set of professional recommendations is then provided based on those findings.
This thorough approach means treatment is never guesswork. By identifying every contributing factor, rather than just the most visible symptom, we can recommend a solution that addresses the actual cause rather than masking it temporarily. It also means you receive a clear, evidence-based report explaining exactly what was found, why it matters, and what steps are needed to resolve it properly and protect the property long term.

A damp and timber survey can also support property purchases by identifying hidden issues before exchange and helping buyers make informed decisions.
Our surveys are designed to be clear, practical and easy to act on.
You get experienced input, straightforward findings and recommendations grounded in the actual condition of the property.
We do not apply a one-size-fits-all fix. We treat each job with care and respect and aim to do it right first time, everytime.
Recommendations are based on survey findings, property type and the most appropriate treatment method.
Damp proofing work is backed by a guarantee where applicable.
Common signs of damp include tide marks or staining on walls, peeling paint or wallpaper, black mould, musty smells, and crumbling plaster or woodwork. You may also notice condensation on windows, cold or wet-feeling walls, or a general damp feeling in certain rooms, especially at ground level or in basements.
Damp can be caused by a range of issues, including rising damp from the ground, penetrating damp due to leaks or damaged masonry, condensation from excess moisture in the air, or even faulty gutters and drains. Our surveyors will assess your property to identify the exact cause and recommend the right solution.
