We paid £360 to have a damp survey carried out by this company on a small, single room of our property which was having problems with humidity and condensation. The report, which seemed to be a cut and paste job as it listed all kinds of points that were completely irrelevant to our particular situation, claimed to find numerous issues which could only be dealt with at vast expense - they quoted an eye-watering £21,000 for dealing with just this one room.Yet all of the data on which they based this report was meaningless as they only used a "damp meter" pressed against the walls. There are 3 BS standards that specifically state that damp meters cannot and should not be used to assess the internal damp state of a wall - they only measure conductivity, not dampness - and that the only valid and accurate way to do this is to take samples of the wall. This was not done. When I subsequently drilled into the wall, it was completely dry. Everything else in the report was based on subjective observations - they even used the fact that we had been using a dehumidifier as evidence that there was damp - yes, we know! that's why we were using a dehumidifier!We've since successfully dealt with the issue by adjusting the central heating and installing better ventilation. The survey and report were a complete waste of money. Do not use this company.
