Surveys and reports
4 articles
What happens on the day, how long it takes, and what's in your report.
What happens during a damp survey?
A systematic inspection inside and out: moisture readings room by room, every defect photographed, and the cause traced rather than assumed.
What's in the written report?
15–25 pages: findings room by room, moisture readings, photographic evidence, a clear diagnosis, and prioritised recommendations.
Is a mortgage valuation the same as a survey?
No. The valuation protects the lender, not you. It can miss serious defects entirely.
How long does a survey take?
1–2 hours on site for a standard home; your written report follows in 2–3 working days, with next-day reporting available.
