π§ Got damp? Buying an older house? Get the facts first.
Too many people are told they need expensive chemical injections or tanking β often by the same company selling the "fix." π¬
At VCT Damp & Traditional Building Surveyors , I only diagnose. No treatments, no products, nothing to sell. Just an honest, independent answer about what's really going on.
π Damp & Mould Surveys
Rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, leaks or mould β I find the actual cause using:
Thermal imaging
Moisture profiling & mapping
Full internal and external inspection
Clear written report with photos and practical, proportionate recommendations
From Β£285
π Pre-Purchase Damp & Fabric Surveys
Buying a property? Mortgage survey flagged damp? Don't panic, and don't sign up for a Β£3,000 treatment you might not need.
I'll inspect the property independently before you exchange, so you can:
β
Know what you're really buying
β
Negotiate on price with evidence
β
Budget for the right repairs (not the wrong ones)
From Β£275
πͺ¨ Specialist in traditional & stone homes
Pre-1919 houses need to breathe. I look at ground levels, drainage, gutters, pointing and ventilation β the things that actually cause damp in older buildings.
