Damp & mould surveying
Damp and mould rarely have a useful one-size-fits-all answer. We assess the building fabric, moisture, ventilation, heating, occupancy and external defects together—then explain what the evidence means in plain language.
Surveys are available for homeowners, private landlords and registered social landlords, from individual homes to repeat portfolio instructions.
From £295 + VAT
For a defined concern or affected area within a residential property.
From £495 + VAT
A wider whole-home investigation where causes may be interconnected or symptoms occur in several areas.
From £395 + VAT / home
Resident-centred investigation and reporting for individual cases, escalations and planned portfolio programmes.
From £125 + VAT / sample
Targeted sampling where mould identification or laboratory evidence would support the wider investigation.
Guide prices exclude VAT and are based on a typical residential property. Final fees reflect property size, location, access, survey scope and reporting requirements, and are agreed before the appointment.
Survey reporting
Reports distinguish observed symptoms from likely causes, identify where further investigation is needed and set out practical next steps rather than defaulting to a generic treatment.
