    Damp survey

    Posted 13 March

    Excellent service from start to finish by Martin. Communication was outstanding throughout the whole damp survey process. He was very understanding about delays and kept me informed at every stage, which I really appreciated. The final report was extremely detailed and professional, including a clear floor plan and comprehensive photos that made everything easy to understand. I would highly recommend their services to anyone needing a damp survey.

    Very professional damp specialist

    Posted 27 February

    I was having a big damp issue in one of my rooms and Martin quickly and efficiently assessed the situation and wrote a comprehensively detailed report outlining the issues with the room, the general recommendations and estimates for remedial work within a few days, I was pleasantly surprised. After I gave him the go ahead to commence the remedial works, Martin always arrived on time and diligently worked on striping the damaged wall right down to the brick work, sealed the cracks on the window sill and completed the job excellently whilst being friendly and transparent. Very much recommend.

    Thank you, Perry, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a detailed review. I’m pleased the report gave you clarity on the underlying issues and that the remedial works met your expectations. Stripping back to sound masonry and addressing the defects properly is always the correct long-term approach, rather than simply masking symptoms. It was a pleasure working with you, and I’m glad you were happy with both the process and the outcome. If you ever need further advice, I’m always happy to assist. — Martin

    Perfect homebuyers report

    Posted 06 February

    Really happy with the work Martin provided! Report was delivered ahead of schedule with lots of detail and explanation, along with photographs covering all issues. I was particularly pleased that Martin went above and beyond in directly communicating with the estate agent for access and he even carried out a few additional measurements I needed with no charge! This saved me upwards of two hours getting there and doing it myself. This report will be instrumental in my renegotiation with the vendor. Thanks again!

    Thank you, Emmanuel — I’m very pleased the report helped support your renegotiation. Homebuyer damp surveys are about more than just moisture readings; they need clear explanation, photographic evidence, and practical cost guidance so buyers can make informed decisions. I’m glad the additional measurements and direct coordination with the agent made the process easier for you. Wishing you all the best with the purchase, and I’m here if you need anything further down the line. — Martin

    Martin came round the next day and carried out a thorough survey. He called as soon as the survey was complete and we recieved the report promptly. Great service, everything was explained. I would recommend Dry forge if you want a quick and thorough service.

    Damp Survey Review

    Posted 16 December 2025

    Martin was amazing at conducting the survey. It was hassle free as he offered to collect the keys for the properties which means I didn’t have to chase up the agency myself. He conducted a thorough survey and sent over a report outlining his survey findings in detail. I would definitely recommend his services.

    Thank you, Laibah, for your kind words. I understand how stressful arranging access through agents can be, so I’m glad collecting the keys and managing the access helped make the process straightforward for you. Delivering a detailed and clearly structured report is essential so clients fully understand both the defects and the recommended course of action. It was a pleasure assisting you, and I truly appreciate the recommendation.

    Very satisfactory outcome

    Posted 15 December 2025

    Martin was prompt in replying to my enquiry with checkatrade. He explained the cause of my rising damp problem, and how to remedy it. He is a very pleasant young man, he worked well and cleaned up at the end of the day.
