Damp and mould investigation

Mould is a symptom. We investigate the moisture conditions behind it.

Visible mould is commonly associated with excess humidity, surface condensation, inadequate ventilation, cold bridging or water ingress. Our independent mould and damp inspection examines the building conditions and measured evidence so you can address the likely cause rather than repeatedly cleaning or covering the visible growth.

Why independence matters

Fully independent. No treatments to sell.

We inspect and report only. Damp Inspector does not sell damp-proofing, chemicals, building treatments or remedial work, so our findings are focused entirely on the evidence—not on generating another sale.

Unbiased findingsNo affiliation with treatment contractors.
Modern equipmentFLIR thermal cameras, moisture meters and scopes.
Practical reportPhotographs, observations and priorities.

What happens next

A straightforward three-step process

1

Tell us the symptoms

Share a few details about the property and where you have noticed damp or water.

2

We inspect and measure

Your inspector gathers evidence using the tools appropriate to the problem.

3

Receive clear next steps

You receive findings that explain the likely cause and sensible priorities.

Tests selected for your property

Measured evidence—not guesswork

We choose the appropriate non-destructive and targeted tests for the symptoms and construction of your property. Not every investigation requires every test.

01

FLIR thermal imaging

Highlights temperature patterns that may indicate moisture, heat loss or hidden leaks.

02

Moisture measurements

Pin and pinless meters help map moisture patterns across walls, floors and finishes.

03

Humidity, mould and dew point

Hygrometer and surface-temperature readings help assess condensation and mould-growth conditions.

04

Acoustic leak checks

Specialist listening equipment helps investigate concealed plumbing leaks.

05

Endoscope inspection

A small camera can inspect selected cavities and concealed areas with minimal disturbance.

06

Roof and high-level checks

Drone or pole-camera inspection may be used where safe access and conditions permit.

A calmer way to solve damp

Evidence first. Recommendations second.

We are fully independent and sell no treatments or remedial work. Our only role is to help you understand the property, so the advice remains focused on what the evidence indicates.
