Quick answer

What is a damp survey? A damp survey is a professional inspection that identifies the type, cause and extent of moisture problems in a property. A surveyor takes moisture readings, examines walls, floors and timbers, and provides written findings with recommended treatment. With The Damp Specialists, survey fees are discounted in full from any work you go ahead with.

What we check

What your damp survey covers

Every survey is a full diagnostic, not a sales visit. Your surveyor will examine:

  • Moisture profiling — calibrated readings through walls to distinguish rising damp from condensation and leaks
  • Walls & plaster — tide marks, salts, blown plaster and decoration damage, inside and out
  • Timbers — skirtings, joists and floors checked for wet rot, dry rot and woodworm
  • Ventilation & condensation — humidity levels, extractor performance, cold spots and mould risk
  • External defects — pointing, render, gutters, ground levels and DPC bridging
  • Basements & sub-floors — below-ground moisture, airbrick function and sub-floor condition
Simple process

Survey questions

Damp survey FAQs

How much does a damp survey cost in Brighton?
Quotes and initial advice are free. Where a detailed damp survey carries a fee, The Damp Specialists discount it in full from any work you go ahead with — so if treatment is needed, the survey effectively costs nothing.
What does a damp survey include?
A room-by-room inspection of affected areas, moisture readings through walls and timbers, identification of the damp type and cause, and a clear written recommendation with a fixed quote for any work needed.
How long does a damp survey take?
Most home surveys take 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on property size and the number of affected areas.
Do I need a damp survey before buying a house in Sussex?
It's strongly recommended if the mortgage valuation flags damp, the property is pre-1940s, or you can see staining or smell mustiness on viewings. A pre-purchase damp survey costs little compared to discovering a £5,000 problem after completion.
Are your surveyors independent?
Our surveys are carried out by experienced local damp specialists. We have agreed with our checked and vetted damp proofers to discount survey fees from any work undertaken — and we'll always tell you when no treatment is needed.
