Understanding the Different Types Of Damp
Damp and black spot mould are common problems in UK homes - but they’re often misunderstood. Many people jump to treatments before properly identifying what’s causing the issue, which can lead to wasted money and recurring problems.
Rising Damp
Caused by moisture travelling up from the ground through walls and floors. It often shows as tide marks, flaking paint, or crumbling plaster near skirting boards.
Penetrating Damp
Occurs when water enters through defects in the building envelope—like faulty roofing, guttering, or cracks in walls. It usually appears as damp patches that worsen after rain.
Condensation & Black Mould
The most common form of damp, caused by everyday moisture (cooking, showering, drying clothes) combined with poor ventilation. It often results in black mould and can trigger health issues.
Defective Plumbing
Defective plumbing, such as hidden leaks or faulty pipework, is a common cause of damp. If left untreated, it can lead to mould growth, timber decay, and costly damage.

FAQ
Can mould affect my health?
Yes. Mould releases spores that can trigger allergies, worsen asthma, and cause respiratory irritation—especially in children, the elderly, or those with existing conditions.
How serious is timber decay?
Timber rot (wet or dry) weakens the structure of floors, joists, and roof timbers. Left unchecked, it can lead to costly repairs and even safety issues if structural elements fail.
Can damp or mould affect the value of my home?
Absolutely. Surveyors often flag damp and timber issues in mortgage reports. Unresolved problems can delay sales, reduce offers, or lead to costly last-minute negotiations.
What does the damp survey involve?
We conduct a visual inspection of all areas we can safely access. If needed, we use tools like moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and hygrometers to check moisture levels. Our findings are based on what we can see and measure during the visit.
How long does a survey take?
Most surveys are completed within 60 - 90 minutes, depending on the size of your property and the complexity of the issues.
Do I need to prepare anything before the survey?
No special preparation is needed. Just ensure we can safely access the areas you’d like us to inspect.
Can you guarantee to find all damp issues?
Our survey highlights visible and measurable problems at the time of the visit. Hidden issues may not be detected until further investigation is carried out.
We had a great experience using Perry for our pre-purchase damp and timber survey. He was quick to respond to our initial enquiry and efficient in organising the survey, which we really appreciated given the time pressures of a house purchase. The report was turned around quickly, and he explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, answered our questions thoroughly, and reassured us about concerns we had following our initial survey. His approach was professional, knowledgeable and calm throughout, which was really reassuring for us. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a damp and timber survey.
A fantastic experience with Perry at ProCheck Damp & Timber. I know how difficult it is to find trusted experts when investigating issues with damp, so was very pleased to find ProCheck. Within minutes of my first enquiry Perry was in touch to arrange an appointment. Very pleased with the final report and a total pleasure dealing with Perry through the whole process.
I had a great experience with Perry organising a damp and timber survey. Perry was proactive in organising the survey and made an appointment at short notice, following up with a phone call and detailed survey report shortly after. I was searching through several surveyors and didn't know who to choose, but I would definitely recommend ProCheck. My biggest concern before booking any damp survey had been whether I would be recommended solutions that we didn't need. Fortunately for us, the survey did not identify a lot of work to be done, so you can trust that Perry won't push for unnecessary work.
Perry rang me within an hour of my enquiry, was booked in to do the survey within 48 hours and had the report back to me the following morning (a Saturday!) which was even quicker than his 1 day promise! He rang me to talk through the survey to give me the headlines which was really appreciated! Great service, can’t recommend highly enough!
