Who investigates damp?

How to investigate damp in the house?
Common signs of damp in UK homes include:
- Peeling paint
- Tide marks (horizontal stains, typically brown or yellow in colour)
- Salty deposits
- Black mould
- Musty smells
- Cold patches on walls
Spot any of the signs above, and you’ll want a damp specialist to investigate.
How is a damp survey conducted?
A full damp survey usually includes:
- Visual inspection of walls, floors, ceilings, and affected rooms
- Moisture readings at multiple points
- Checking ventilation levels
- Inspecting exterior brickwork, gutters, downpipes, and roofing
- Reviewing plumbing and potential leak sources
- Identifying the damp type and its root cause
Tip: Sometimes a written report may also be provided, but not always. If you need a Damp and Timber Report for a mortgage provider, make sure to request this in advance.
What happens if a survey shows damp?
If damp is unfortunately confirmed, your specialist will explain:
- What type of damp it is (rising, penetrating, condensation, or structural)
- What’s causing it (poor ventilation, damaged brickwork, plumbing leaks, or failed damp proofing are all culprits)
- Recommended fixes (repairs, ventilation improvements, damp proof course work, dehumidification, or exterior weather coating)
You can agree on the next steps and budget for the work.
How long does a damp inspection take?

However. if specialist tools such as thermal imaging cameras or calibrated moisture meters are needed, the inspection may take slightly longer. The same goes for larger or older properties, or those with multiple problem areas.
