Independent Damp Surveyor

Damp, timber and thermal surveys in Coventry

Coventry has a varied housing stock, from post-war rebuild terraces and prefabs to 1960s semis, modern estates and city-centre apartments. We provide independent damp surveys that identify the root cause of damp, mould and timber issues, so you only pay for work that is actually needed.

We carry out damp surveys across Coventry, including Earlsdon, Styvechale, Allesley, Tile Hill, Wyken, Holbrooks and the city centre. Older post-war properties often show penetrating damp and failed DPCs, while newer flats and HMOs frequently suffer from condensation and ventilation problems. Our reports are written in plain English and can be used with contractors, landlords or mortgage lenders.

The survey

What happens on a Coventry damp survey

A typical inspection of a Coventry home takes 1–2 hours on site, with your written damp and timber report normally issued within 2–3 working days.

1. Site inspection
We inspect the affected areas and the wider building fabric of your Coventry property, inside and out.
2. Readings & imaging
Calibrated moisture meter readings and thermal imaging trace hidden moisture paths and cold spots.
3. Diagnosis
We identify the actual cause — rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, a leak or timber decay.
4. Written report
You receive a photographic report with readings, findings and prioritised, costed next steps.

Will a mortgage lender accept your damp report for a Coventry property?

Yes. Our damp and timber reports are prepared by CSRT accredited, LM3DMC qualified surveyors and are written in the format lenders and solicitors expect, with moisture readings, photographic evidence, a diagnosis and costed recommendations.

Are you independent from damp-proofing contractors in Coventry?

We are completely independent. We do not sell, install or subcontract remedial damp-proofing work, so there is no incentive to over-specify treatment. You get a diagnosis based only on what the evidence shows.

As well as Coventry itself we regularly survey properties in Leamington Spa, Warwick, Kenilworth, Nuneaton, Bedworth and the wider West Midlands area. We also work throughout the UK for portfolio, social housing and lender instructions.

What happens during a damp survey in Coventry?
