Independent, unbiased damp and mould surveys across Colchester and Essex. Thermal imaging as standard, a clear report within 24 hours, and no ties to any remediation company — so the findings are honest and stand up to scrutiny.
Colchester mixes some of the oldest housing in the country with fast-growing new estates, and both produce damp and mould for very different reasons. Whether it is a period town-centre home or a two-year-old house on a new development, I find the actual cause and set out exactly what does and does not need doing.
Colchester's Victorian and older stock tends toward rising and penetrating damp, while the new-build estates around Stanway and the garrison rentals more often suffer construction-moisture and condensation issues that get wrongly blamed on the structure. Thermal imaging quickly separates the two.
Whether you are a homeowner worried about a patch of mould, a landlord facing a tenant complaint under Awaab's Law, or a buyer who wants the truth before you commit, I give you a straight answer backed by evidence — not a sales pitch for treatment you may not need.
