Damp Surveys

Why have a damp survey?

For house purchases:

A surveyor will often recommend a Damp Specialist to carry out a further, more in depth survey, on the property. Surveyors, might not check every wall and will not have the same knowledge as a specialist in their field. A surveyor is unlikely to have the hands-on experience of damp proofing houses within Brighton and Hove and have an understanding of the practicalities involved in solving them.

To settle a dispute:

Often between a tenant and a landlord in regards to an issue within the home, or between neighbours over the cause of dampness or leak. A written report can help resolve any issues.

What will the survey involve?

A quotation of works for everything

Yes everything, not just the damp! We can provide a comprehensive estimate of everything from, chimney repairs, a new bathroom to windows.

Why pay for a survey?

Time, care and impartialtiy

A company, or individual offering a quote, is likely to be looking to make a financial conversion after their visit - this may effect an impartial view on the property. They might also on report findings that is within their skillset, or what the may deem as profitable - ignoring issues 'outside their box'.

Effectively, a paid survey with Brighton Damp Proofers is for thoroughness, time and a duty of care. A survey may take hours to conduct and hours to convert into a comprehensive report.
