There are many damp surveyors offering “free” damp surveys. However, businesses rarely give away something for free and there is usually an alternate agenda. The free surveys are provided by businesses trying to sell a specific product which commonly does not solve the problem. Even surveys costing £50-60 are often an atempt by the business to generate more work and they have an interest in selling you a certain solution.

Independent damp surveyors like damp detectives do make a charge for our services but this is because surveying is all we do. We take an ethical approach in providing you with an unbiased opinion and if there is no problem, then that is what we will tell you. This also means that there is no pressure to accept a quote for services and allows you to look around suppliers to find the best deal for any work that needs to be done.

Overall not only means that your problem will be solved quickly and easily but also that it you will save money by ensuring that the work done on yuor property is actually neccessary.

If you have been quoted for work by one of these free damp surveys why not ask us for a second opinion. It would be much less costly to get a second opinion than to undertake unnecessary work on your property.

Our surveys include a full house survey, a report backed with evidence and a recommendation for work required (if any is needed).
