Damp problem - report needed

[woodland]

Hi- anyone recommend a company who can come and look at the cause of damp in our flat. As Leaseholders the council don't care unless we can evidence where the problem is coming from..... looking for a company to help us figure it out and to fix it at some point! - thanks for any advice.

Hi,

We got an independent survey done by a lovely guy called Keith, having been burnt by damp companies who give you a free survey, but then always come back with thousands of pounds of work that needs doing. Keith cost ?240 which I reckon will save us thousands.

Hi I can recommend Kevin Reid at City Damp Specialists. Reasonably priced and he?ll give an independent report. Has no links to damp proofing companies.

I recommend Keith of Independent Surveys too, I think it was me who originally introduced him to the forum actually way back in 2012 or 2013. He is an amazing damp detective and can work out all the causes and origins of the problem and gives you a list of practical solutions to resolve each area where it is occurring. Some of the things are stuff you can get a handyman to sort out (I had some coping stones that weren't positioned properly so rain water was running down them straight on down the wall underneath) and others may need more specialist help but you save a lot of money by knowing what type of person is needed to do the fixing. His website is terrible though, don't judge him on that!
