How much is a damp survey?

The cost of a damp survey will depend on the size of your property. For instance, it may cost around £250 for a three-bed semi-detached house, while a four-bed detached house may cost about £300.

What is a damp survey?

A damp survey is a specific type of survey where a London damp surveyor inspects a property for any potential issues. This survey is typically done when an initial valuation, condition report, full building survey, or homebuyers survey has found that there is a damp problem in your building.

Where is the damp proof course applied?

Your Damp Proof Course (DPC) is usually applied at basement level and is designed to resist moisture, preventing it from passing through your floors and walls.

Is damp expensive to fix?

If your house is suffering from a damp problem, you can have it fixed. The cost of damp-proofing internal walls depends on your location, the supplier, and the size of the wall area that needs to be treated. A rough estimate is around £70 per metre of wall or around £280 per wall. If you need to treat every wall in your house, the cost can reach up to several thousand.

How long does a damp survey take?

A free damp specialist survey takes three to four hours, but this will vary based on several factors, such as the size and structure of the house, amount of damage, type of damp, and much more. In extreme cases, it can take over two days.

How do you treat damp in an old house?

A damp specialist can provide a wide range of solutions for damp problems. They will first check external ground levels and ensure that earth is not heaped up against the outside walls. They will also check pipes and sealants, and fix leaks and gutters to prevent water from dripping down the walls. Some damp specialists may also provide you with a basement waterproofing assessment, based on your property’s requirements.

What type of damp do I have?

There are several types of damp, but the most common are lateral, penetrating, and rising. Condensation and mould may form, no matter what kind of damp issue your home has. A damp specialist may perform a tanking evaluation if your property needs it.

How do you investigate damp?

Hire professional damp surveyors, and they can investigate your home for any issues. These specialists will carefully inspect your ceilings, walls, and floors for damp patches and other signs of damp problems. They will also look under any flooring that may be lifting. During the early stages, the only signs of damp are a mouldy smell or moistness.

In a panic I called environ with a rat problem, and in less than an hour later they showed up and dealt with it! Amazing efficient service, extremely knowledgeable also about the rodents/pests they deal with. Never thought I’d learn so much, but it goes to show how experienced they are. 10/10 from me, will definitely be reusing!

I am thrilled to share my experience with Environ Restoration Services, and I must say, their work with graded building is exceptional. The importance and attention to detail they demonstrated during the planning and execution of the project were truly impressive. From start to finish, their team displayed a level of professionalism and expertise that surpassed my expectations. They took the time to understand the unique requirements of the graded building and ensured every aspect of the restoration was carried out meticulously. The final result was nothing short of remarkable. I am immensely satisfied with the outcome, and without a doubt, I will be using Environ Restoration Services again for any future projects. If you are seeking a team that values quality, precision, and care for graded buildings, look no further than Environ Restoration Services. They have earned my trust and highest recommendation.

Huge thanks to Environs Restoration Team for their outstanding work on restoring my London property. Even while away, they kept me updated throughout the entire project. Highly recommend them for their expertise in working on listed buildings!

I wanted to take a minute and thank you all for resolving the damp issue we had. Its so nice to come home and not see or smell the disaster that was there before. Just in time for Christmas which I would have to say you guys saved as we have family coming who had their flights already booked. A massive relief Thank you so much!! Would definitely recommend your team from initial contact to works completed. Great job.

I chose to use Environ to deal with a damp wall, the whole process from beginning to end has been straightforward, well explained and they've managed to strike a pleasing balance between friendliness and professionalism. Everyone they sent over during the course of the work, as well as their office staff has been, nice helpful and accommodating. I hope not to need to use them again but if I do, I'll do so gladly!

Came round to have a look at work required and actually realised it was all low level work. Explained and showed what was required. They can back about a week later (or thereabouts) to carry out the work which was done very quickly (about an hour if I recall). Because it took less time than was originally thought have not been charged for the materials so was very happy about that.
