Damp Survey Services | PCA Accredited Damp Surveyors | Kenwood
Our PCA-accredited surveyors carry out damp surveys to find the source of damp-related issues in your home, diagnosing the cause and providing an effective solution. Learn more about Kenwood’s damp surveys, the process, and what comes after.
What a Kenwood Damp Survey Includes
When a Kenwood specialist visits your property, they conduct a full property inspection that utilises moisture readings, visual instrument diagnosis, and sometimes underfloor inspections to find the source of issues, including:
- Rising damp
- Penetrating damp
- Condensation
- Wet and dry rot
- Woodworm
Following the damp survey, we provide you with a report of our findings, which details what was found and how these issues can be remedied. If you continue to work with Kenwood, we will offer our services following the survey.
Who Carries It Out
Our PCA-accredited surveyors are trained and experienced in diagnostic techniques and current treatment standards. They will visit the property and carry out a full damp survey on the home, using industry-standard equipment and following current UK regulations to stay compliant.
What the Report Covers
When you receive a report from us following the damp survey, you’ll be presented with a full breakdown of what was found, along with our recommended treatment. The report will also include a computer-aided floor plan, detailed specification, and itemised quote for the works we can carry out for you.
These reports are written in plain terms so you fully understand what was found and what can be done about it. Our reports are also accepted by banks, building societies and mortgage lenders if needed.
How Quickly It Can Be Arranged
Our damp surveys can typically be arranged for the next working day, with flexibility to book at a more convenient time for you. We’re able to work around your schedule and work to any deadlines you may have, especially if you’re a social housing landlord abiding by Awaab’s Law.
If you get in touch with our team today, we can book a damp survey for your property for the next available working day.
Cost
The cost of a damp survey will often vary depending on the size of your property and what may be required during the inspection. Our surveys include a detailed quote and price breakdown for any quoted works, which we communicate directly to you.
If you choose to proceed with Kenwood to remedy any issues in your property, you’ll be refunded £180 from the cost of the survey.
What Happens After the Survey
After the damp survey is completed, we provide you with a report and a quote, where we talk you through the findings and recommended treatment. If you have issues that can be tackled by our team, we can book you in for further work. This includes damp proofing, wet and dry rot treatment, and more, all of which are backed by our 20-year guarantee.
