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.
A damp mark is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Share the pattern, timing and previous work so an investigation can consider plumbing, rainwater, ventilation and the building fabric as relevant to the property.
Start with what you can see
Your repair question, answered
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.

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.

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.

Questions about damp & mould investigation
Does a high moisture reading prove rising damp?
A single reading does not establish the cause. It must be interpreted with the construction, condition and other evidence.
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 surveys & investigation cost?
The property size, access, investigation methods and report required determine the fee. 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.
