DIAGNOSIS FIRST. TREATMENT SECOND.

A survey should explain
the problem.
Not sell you a product.

A visible patch or a meter reading alone doesn’t tell the whole story. Our approach considers the building, moisture patterns and the way the space is used.

You get written findings, the limits of the inspection and sensible next steps — without a damp-proofing sales pitch.

Tell us what you’ve noticed ↗
01

Tell us about the issue

Share the location and what you’ve noticed. We agree the scope and a fixed price before booking.

02

Investigate the cause

An appropriately experienced inspector assesses the agreed areas and records relevant observations and readings.

03

Know your next steps

Receive written findings and recommendations, including where further specialist investigation may be needed.

Technical inspections may be delivered by independent specialist subcontractors. We confirm the appointed inspector, relevant experience and insurance arrangements before you book.

WHAT WE INVESTIGATE

Recurring mould?
A patch that won’t dry?

We help homeowners, buyers and landlords understand damp and moisture concerns in Edinburgh properties — from traditional stone tenements to modern flats and houses.

01

Mould & condensation

Recurring surface mould, wet windows, ventilation concerns and cold spots.

02

Damp walls & water ingress

Staining, peeling finishes and suspected moisture entry around roofs, gutters or external walls.

03

Unexplained moisture

Persistent musty smells, suspected rising damp and visible signs of timber deterioration.

04

Pre-purchase concerns

A focused investigation of a damp concern before you commit to a property.

FOR LANDLORDS & LETTING AGENTS

Move from a reported problem
to an informed response.

When a tenant reports damp or mould, you need a clear account of the issue and practical recommendations. Our independent investigations help you plan the next steps and communicate the findings.

Discuss a rental property
01

A clear written record

Document the inspected areas, observations and recommendations.

02

Practical priorities

Understand suggested actions and where additional investigation is needed.

03

Agreed access arrangements

Discuss tenant access and report requirements before booking.

A diagnostic report is not a statutory compliance certificate or a guarantee that a property meets every letting requirement.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

A few good
questions.

Clear expectations from the start.

Are you independent of damp-proofing companies?

We don’t sell or install damp-proofing treatments. You pay for an investigation and written recommendations, and you can choose who carries out any recommended work.

Who will carry out the inspection?

Technical inspections may be carried out by appropriately experienced and insured independent specialist subcontractors. We confirm the appointed inspector, relevant experience, insurance arrangements and agreed scope before you book.

Are the inspections insured?

We confirm the applicable professional indemnity and public liability insurance arrangements before accepting a booking. Where a specialist subcontractor is appointed, their cover must be suitable for the agreed work. Ask for the relevant details with your quote.

What does the £299 damp survey include?

An inspection of agreed areas, relevant moisture readings, an assessment of likely causes, photographs and a written report with recommendations. This is the standard-scope service; larger properties or complex issues may need a tailored quote. We agree this before booking.

Will you diagnose rising damp from a meter reading?

No single reading is treated as a complete diagnosis. Findings are considered alongside the visible condition, moisture patterns and building context. Where the evidence is inconclusive, the report will explain the uncertainty and any recommended further investigation.

Is this a structural survey or a home report?

No. This is a focused damp and moisture investigation, not a structural survey, Scottish Home Report, valuation or invasive inspection. Destructive opening-up, laboratory testing and specialist timber investigations are not included unless specifically agreed.

When will I receive the report?

Visit availability and report turnaround are confirmed in your quote before booking. Tell us if you have a purchase deadline or urgent tenancy concern so we can advise whether the service can meet your timescale.

Do I need to pay when I enquire?

No. The form requests a quote and does not make a booking or take payment. You’ll receive the scope, total price, availability and booking terms before deciding whether to proceed.
