I need a damp surveyor!

[honeybee79]

Hi - can anyone recommend a local-ish reasonably priced damp surveyor?

Thanks v much.

Look at Ross from Tegan Services.

We haven't had him do the work yet, but came across as a really trustworthy guy, has lots of positive reviews on here too. Quoted far less than bigger companies.

Jut get a good builder! You absolutely do not need a damp surveyor. Massive waste of money.

bit of a generalisation and depends on what you need the damp survey for. IF its to get money off buying a house for example get a free survey done from Kenwoods who will come in on the high side and use that as a tool to reduce the price of the house on purchase...

Not all damp proofer are a "massive" waste of money

Agreed, the house we moved into had damp proofing work done by a builder and had failed but they had no guarantee for the damp proofing we ended up getting a decent discount off the asking price, got an approved damp proofing company in which provides a guarantee on the work carried out should it fail in the future.

Sometimes it might seem like you are saving money at the time but when you come to sell it and if you get a buyer with a surveyor with a keen eye they will always spot damp in a Victorian house you are instantly on the back foot...
