Investigation is quoted to scope. Specialist surveys, laboratory testing, waterproofing systems and reinstatement are separate unless expressly included. A visual inspection is not a structural or mortgage survey.
Find out what is causing the moisture before paying for a treatment. Mayfair arranges investigation of damp, condensation and water ingress across London, then helps coordinate the agreed source repairs and making good.
Start with what you can see
Find the right repair in Ealing
You do not need to know the technical name. Choose the description that fits, then see the repair options and what to include in your enquiry.
Is my damp wall caused by condensation or a leak?
Appearance alone cannot establish the cause. Tell us whether the patch follows rain, use of plumbing or cold weather, and whether it changes size. Mayfair can arrange the appropriate investigation; a moisture reading by itself is not a complete diagnosis.
Mould keeps coming back. Will repainting fix it?
Repainting does not resolve the source of recurring moisture. Describe the affected rooms, ventilation and any signs of leaks. Investigation should establish the cause and suitable remedial scope before decorating is arranged.
Is a damp patch near the skirting definitely rising damp?
No. Low-level staining or damaged plaster is a symptom, not proof of rising damp. Leaks, external moisture and other causes need consideration. Request an investigation before committing to injection treatment, replastering or waterproofing.

Damp & mould investigation in Ealing
Planning the repair at your Ealing property
For an Ealing repair following a kitchen, bathroom or control change, include what was installed and when the problem began. Connections behind finished surfaces may need a different approach from an exposed fitting.
Moisture hidden behind units or boxing
Report smells, visible marks and when they change, together with any known leaks or ventilation faults. Concealed surfaces may need controlled access to investigate. Covering the visible patch or sealing over it may leave the source unresolved.
Mould or damp after an earlier treatment
Send the investigation report, treatment specification and the timing of recurrence. Different causes can produce similar marks. The next scope should consider why the previous work has not resolved the symptoms.
Example work, explained
Finding the cause of a damp wall
- The problem
- A damp patch, peeling finish or recurring staining needs a cause established. A meter reading or photograph alone cannot distinguish every source of moisture.
- The work involved
- Review when the patch appears, nearby plumbing, external defects, ventilation and the building's construction. Agree further investigation and source repairs from the findings.
- Checks and next steps
- Explain the likely source, any limits of the inspection and the plan for repair and drying. Surface treatment or redecorating is considered once the underlying problem is addressed.

Help us prepare the right visit
Send visible product labels and earlier work details. Explain any cabinets, panels or appliances affecting access to the fault.
Can you investigate without removing the fitted units?
We start with the available access and visible evidence. If more access is needed, its purpose, extent and reinstatement are discussed before intrusive work.
Do you guarantee a diagnosis from a damp-meter reading?
No. Readings are considered alongside the material, visible condition and wider evidence. A treatment should not be selected from a single reading alone.

About neighbourhoods and postcode matching
August 2026 ONS postcode data identifies boroughs sharing an outward district. Named centres use London Plan references; neighbourhood postcode examples use local address sources. Neither defines an exact neighbourhood boundary. Even a full postcode entered here is matched only by its first part.
Where a dedicated local service guide is available, we link to it. Other places lead to the relevant borough guide with your selected area carried into the enquiry. Your full repair address is needed when arranging attendance.
Postcode districts and borough boundaries

These are borough-wide postcode associations. A district can cross boroughs and include other neighbourhoods or addresses outside London. Even a full postcode shown in the finder gives district suggestions, not an address check. Give the street address and full postcode when booking.

Questions about damp & mould investigation
Can you tell the cause of damp from a photograph?
Photos help describe the symptoms but do not prove the cause. Building condition, moisture sources and the history of the problem need consideration before a treatment is recommended.
How much does damp & mould investigation cost?
Investigation is quoted to scope. Specialist surveys, laboratory testing, waterproofing systems and reinstatement are separate unless expressly included. A visual inspection is not a structural or mortgage survey. We provide a quote including VAT for the agreed work.
Do you cover Ealing?
Yes. We cover Ealing, with coverage across its wider borough and all other London boroughs. Send your full postcode and work details to arrange the right attendance.
