Damp and Mould Survey
Damp and Mould Survey
We conduct damp and mould surveys for properties across the West Midlands, helping landlords from Dudley to Wolverhampton identify, treat, and prevent moisture issues quickly and professionally. Our survey process begins with a comprehensive visual inspection of walls, ceilings, flooring, window sills, and known problem zones such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. We use advanced tools like moisture meters, hygrometers, and thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden moisture sources and map the extent of the issue.
Common problem areas include:
Around leaking roofs or gutters
Cold corners of poorly insulated rooms
Behind furniture positioned against exterior walls
Window frames with broken seals
Below appliances or plumbing joints
Damp and mould aren’t just cosmetic concerns—they can cause respiratory issues, trigger asthma, and lead to long-term property damage such as rot and degraded plasterwork. Our reports provide detailed photographic evidence, moisture readings, and an actionable plan for remediation. Severity is graded (Low, Moderate, or Severe) and aligned with Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) standards.
Typical treatment recommendations may include:
Improving ventilation (installing extractor fans or trickle vents)
Repairing leaks or sealing cracks
Applying anti-fungal/mould-resistant paints
Installing dehumidifiers in high-moisture environments
Replacing water-damaged materials such as plasterboard or floorboards
Case Study: Tenant Health and Compliance Risk Averted in Birmingham
During a pre-tenancy inspection, one of our surveyors discovered significant mould behind a wardrobe and beneath a bay window due to inadequate ventilation and historic leaks. The landlord had no idea of the issue, as previous tenants had never reported it. After our survey and repair coordination, the affected areas were stripped, replastered, and ventilated, with mould-inhibiting paint applied.
The property passed its HHSRS inspection the following month, and the new tenants moved in without health risks or licensing delays.
Our damp and mould surveys offer critical protection for both your investment and your tenants—ensuring early detection, cost-effective repair planning, and full compliance with rental housing standards. conduct damp and mould surveys for properties across the West Midlands, helping landlords from Dudley to Wolverhampton identify, treat, and prevent moisture issues quickly and professionally.
Our team uses moisture meters, thermal imaging, and air quality tools to identify the root cause whether it’s rising damp, condensation, or leaks. We produce a detailed report that includes severity grading, photo documentation, and recommended remedial works. Left untreated, damp can lead to costly repairs and health complaints, so early detection is key to long-term property preservation and tenant safety.
