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.

Questions about damp & mould investigation
Is basement tanking included in an ordinary repair visit?
No. A waterproofing system requires a suitable assessment and defined specialist scope; it is not covered by a small-repair call-out offer.
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 basement leaks & waterproofing assessment cost?
Specialist investigation and any designed waterproofing solution need their own quotation. We provide a quote including VAT for the agreed work.
Do you cover all of London?
Yes. We cover all 32 London boroughs and the City of London. Select a borough below or include your full postcode when requesting a quote. The appointment depends on the required work and available specialist.
