Damp advice — Building consultant — Professionals
Damp enquiries require an evidence-led investigation rather than an assumed diagnosis. Providers should consider the construction, observed pattern and earlier interventions, explain limits of measurements and identify referrals where plumbing, roofing or other defects require separate expertise.
Service scope
Investigation-led advice on unwanted moisture in building fabric, considering possible sources and pathways before recommending treatment. It distinguishes evidence gathering and diagnosis from selling a predetermined damp-proofing system.
What is normally included
- Moisture-history review
- Scope for building-fabric investigation
- Cause-based recommendations and limitations
What is not included
- Diagnosis from one photograph or meter reading
- Guaranteed cure without identifying the moisture source
Qualification checks
- Establish the moisture chronology
- Identify construction and previous interventions
- Review possible water pathways
- Define inspection and measurement limits
- Separate diagnostic advice from treatment sales
Quote guidance
Price the initial investigation, report and any monitoring clearly. List specialist testing and opening-up as separate options and explain when repair recommendations remain provisional until a suspected source is confirmed.
Lead risks
- A customer may expect a named treatment before investigation
- Recent decorating can conceal relevant signs
