What affects your total?
Condensation, leaks, penetrating damp and rising damp need different solutions. Establish the diagnosis and survey findings before pricing injection, coatings or drainage.
What to send with your request
Send photos of damp patches, the timing and duration of the problem, ventilation and previous work. Include your postcode, preferred schedule and the elements that must remain, so the scope can be assessed.
Recognise different causes
Condensation, penetrating rain, rising moisture, leaks and groundwater can produce overlapping symptoms. A diagnosis should consider both the affected surface and the surrounding construction.
Prepare for an assessment
Collect photographs, dates, repair history and any relationship with rain or room use. Give access to relevant areas where safe, and explain whether the problem is recurring.
Build a coordinated repair plan
The solution may combine building repairs, ventilation changes and specialist treatment. Agree the order of work, drying requirements and responsibility for restoring finishes.
Compare clear quotations
