Disrepair, Damp & Mould Service
Introduction
Disrepair, damp and mould are serious property issues that can affect the safety, comfort and wellbeing of occupants, as well as the long-term integrity of buildings. Our Disrepair, Damp and Mould service provides a comprehensive, end-to-end solution, identifying defects, assessing risks, and delivering effective remediation to restore properties to a safe, compliant and habitable condition.
We work with landlords, housing providers, managing agents and homeowners to ensure issues are addressed promptly, professionally and in line with current legislation and best practice.

Our Inspection, Reporting and Remediation Service
Inspection Service
Our inspection service is designed to accurately identify the cause, not just the symptoms of disrepair, damp and mould.
We provide:
- Thorough property inspections by experienced surveyors
- Identification of damp types (penetrating, rising, condensation)
- Assessment of ventilation, heating, insulation and building defects
- Evaluation of occupant lifestyle factors where relevant
- Photographic evidence and moisture readings
Our approach ensures a balanced, evidence-based assessment that supports fair and effective outcomes.
Reporting
Following inspection, we deliver clear, structured and actionable reports tailored to the intended audience.
Our reports include:
- A summary of findings and identified risks
- Root cause analysis of damp and mould issues
- Clear differentiation between building defects and environmental factors
- Severity and priority ratings
- Recommendations aligned with legislation and guidance
Reports are suitable for asset management, legal proceedings, disrepair claims, or remedial planning.
Remediation Service
We offer practical and proportionate remediation solutions to resolve issues efficiently and prevent recurrence.
Our remediation services include:
- Repair of building defects (roofing, brickwork, drainage, seals)
- Improvements to ventilation, heating and insulation
- Damp treatment and mould removal
- Internal repairs and reinstatement works
- Post-remediation verification and advice
All works are carried out with minimal disruption to occupants, prioritising health, safety and long-term effectiveness.
