What Causes Dampness in Gloucestershire Properties?
Dampness in Gloucestershire homes can arise from several factors. The county’s mix of older properties, rural settings, and changing weather conditions often contribute to the problem. High humidity, combined with poor ventilation, inadequate insulation, or rising groundwater, can lead to damp issues. Holiday homes and properties left unoccupied for extended periods are particularly prone to damp. A professional damp survey is essential to identify the problem’s cause accurately.
How Long Does a Damp Survey Take?
The duration of a damp survey depends on the size and condition of your property. Typically, a survey in Gloucestershire takes between 1-2 hours. During this time, we perform a thorough inspection to identify the root causes of damp and ensure all affected areas are addressed.
What Are the Health Risks of Damp and Mould?
Damp and mould can pose serious health risks, including respiratory issues, skin irritations, and allergic reactions. If left untreated, these problems can escalate, leading to chronic health conditions. Identifying and resolving damp issues promptly is vital to protect both your property and your well-being.
Can Damp, Mould, and Rot Affect Property Value?
Yes, damp, mould, and rot can significantly lower a property’s value. These issues are often perceived by buyers as indicators of poor upkeep and potential future repair costs. By addressing damp problems early, you not only safeguard your home’s value but also improve its livability and prevent costly long-term damage.

David was very helpful, knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions I threw at him last week, and there were a lot!
His feedback has saved the need for unrequired damp proof course work and will no doubt have saved our house sale from stalling. Thank you, I would have no hesitations in recommending or using David again.
