Surveys
Landlord damp and mould inspection
Cause-led damp and mould inspections for landlords, managing agents and rented homes.
Why diagnosis matters
Treat the cause, then repair the damage
A fair assessment considers the property, heating, ventilation, moisture production and maintenance together. We document visible conditions and practical next steps without defaulting to occupant blame.

Common questions
About landlord damp and mould inspection
Do you blame tenants for condensation?+
No. Occupancy is one part of a wider picture that includes ventilation provision, heating, fabric defects and cold surfaces.
Can you provide photographs?+
Where included in the agreed scope and consent allows, findings can be supported by relevant photographs.
Can damp be diagnosed from photographs?+
Photographs can help us triage an enquiry, but they cannot confirm the moisture source. A site inspection allows the building context, weather exposure, ventilation and accessible materials to be considered together.
Do you provide written findings?+
The agreed survey scope will confirm whether written findings, photographs and a remedial specification are included. We explain this before booking so you know exactly what to expect.
Is this an RICS Building Survey?+
No. Our specialist inspection focuses on damp, mould, timber and related remedial needs. An RICS Building Survey has a broader property-surveying scope and must be completed by an appropriately qualified RICS surveyor.
