Quick check

 

If you’re unsure whether your property has damp, you can perform a quick check by answering the following:

  • Do you notice any musty odours in certain rooms? 
  • Are there watermarks or stains on walls or ceilings?
  • Do your walls feel cold or damp to the touch?
  • Are there black mould patches in corners or near windows?
  • Have you observed peeling wallpaper or flaking paint?

If you answered “yes” to any of these, your property may have damp. Book a professional survey for a full diagnosis and bespoke treatment plan
