Signs of damp include peeling paint, mould growth, damp patches, musty smells, warped flooring, damp smell or simply feeling unwell. If you notice any of these issues, it’s important to get a professional survey to accurately identify the problem.

An increasing number of people are approaching us with concerns such as a persistent damp smell or experiencing health issues within the property in question. We’ve also noticed a growing trend of GPs referring their patients to us to investigate whether mould could be the underlying cause of their illness. We can also help with these concerns.

We use a unique combination of engineering and surveying methodologies along with advanced damp diagnostics techniques to thoroughly assess the root cause of your damp problems—whether it’s rising damp, condensation, penetrating damp, or inadequate ventilation. Unlike companies that focus on selling products, our surveys are completely independent and tailored to your specific needs.

We use a live scheduling system to ensure faster turnarounds.

Yes, exposure to damp and mould can have serious health implications. Mould can trigger allergic reactions, asthma, and respiratory problems, especially in children, the elderly, and those with existing health conditions. Addressing damp and mould issues promptly not only protects your property but also ensures a safer, healthier living environment for your family.

No, we do not offer free surveys. Many customers who initially choose a free or cheaper survey later come to us after receiving unreliable results. They often report poor inspections, with surveyors simply knocking on walls and providing inflated prices to fix problems that were never identified. In many cases, these surveys focus on just one issue, excluding others, leaving the true problem untreated. Customers are often surprised to find that our solutions, while more targeted and comprehensive, are generally cheaper because we only focus on solving the exact problems identified. Our surveys ensure you’re not overpaying for unnecessary treatments.

Dampdoctor’s solutions are very competitive. We regularly perform cost analysis within our industry and find that our rates consistently compare favourably. Our focus is on targeted, efficient solutions, meaning you only pay for the work that’s necessary, saving you money in the long run.
