Home Buyer Damp Survey London

Home Buyer Damp Survey in London

If your RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey on a London property has flagged 'high moisture readings' or recommended a specialist damp report, that referral almost never means a contractor quote is required. Our independent pre-purchase damp surveys give you a defensible diagnosis and cost picture before exchange — without the conflict of interest of a damp-proofing sales visit.

What Your Survey Includes

  • Full internal and external damp inspection targeted at RICS-flagged areas
  • Calibrated Protimeter moisture profiling
  • FLIR thermal imaging to identify hidden moisture pathways
  • Indication of likely remedial cost ranges to support price negotiation
  • Clear photographic PDF report suitable for onward reliance

Common Problems We Find

  • 'High readings' on Victorian ground-floor walls with bridged DPCs
  • Condensation mould in single-aspect converted flats
  • Penetrating damp on exposed elevations flagged only cosmetically by RICS
  • Historic damp staining with no active moisture
  • Basement moisture in period townhouses
