    Hi Steve, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review , we appreciate it. With a building of this age, it was important to separate historic features from genuine defects and explain the findings clearly, and we are pleased the survey helped provide that clarity. All the best going forward. Kind regards, True Damp Specialists.

At True Damp Specialists, we’re an independent damp, mould, and waterproofing consultancy providing clear, factual reporting — not sales.


Our team includes PCA-trained surveyors, building engineers, and mould specialists with extensive experience in diagnostics and structural waterproofing.


We work with homeowners, landlords, housing associations, and developers who want independent, accurate reporting before committing to costly works.


We specialize in independent damp, mould, and waterproofing investigations across residential and commercial buildings.


Our surveys include:


• Moisture profiling, salt testing, and thermal imaging

• Condensation and ventilation assessments

• Awaab’s Law–compliant housing reports

• CCTV and drainage investigations

• Pre-purchase and remediation planning

• Complex case reviews and second opinions


Each report is independently written with data, photos, and step-by-step recommendations — giving you time, understanding, and confidence before any remedial work begins.


Clients choose us because we’re completely independent — we don’t sell injections, membranes, or treatments.


Our reports are factual, evidence-based, and compliant with BS 8102, BS 5250, and BS 6576 standards.


Every survey is carried out with integrity and technical precision — ensuring clear answers, not sales pressure.
