Our Inspection Process and Report

Our inspections and reports are aligned with current UK housing legislation and standards. We undertake a thorough, impartial survey of the property, which includes:

• Internal humidity monitoring

• Moisture readings to walls, ceilings, and affected areas

• Identification of condensation, rising damp, or penetrating damp

• Assessment of insulation, cold spots, and building defects

• Review of ventilation systems, including extractor fans and airflow

• Consideration of occupant lifestyle factors, such as heating use, drying clothes, cooking, and ventilation habits

This balanced approach ensures that the true cause of damp and mould is identified, avoiding blame and focusing on solutions.
