FOUR STEPS. PUBLISHED FEES. NO UPSELL
How it works, and what it costs.
A residential damp survey costs from £950. Commercial and complex instructions are quoted on scope within one working day. Site inspection typically within 5 working days of instruction; the report follows within 3 working days of inspection. We diagnose the cause — we never sell or carry out the repairs.
The process
1 - Instruct
Call or email with the address and a brief description. Fee confirmed and inspection date agreed, usually the same day.
2 - Inspect
Jonathan attends personally: visual survey, moisture profiling, thermal imaging and humidity readings as the building requires. Typically 1–2 hours for a house.
3 - Report
Within 3 working days: cause, mechanism, evidence, and what will actually fix it. Concise by design.
4 - Invoice
Payable on delivery of the report. No hidden extras, no follow-on sales visit — there is nothing to sell you.

Common questions
Why don't you sell damp proofing?
Because a diagnosis is only trustworthy when the person making it earns nothing from the treatment. Independence is the product.
Is a free contractor survey not enough?
A free survey is a quotation visit. If the recommendation is wrong, you pay for works that don't fix the problem — and pay again later.
What do you need on the day?
Access to affected rooms, and where possible to floor voids, lofts and external elevations. Occupied properties are fine.
Do you cover my area?
Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Oxfordshire; further by arrangement.
