Common Questions
Damp Survey FAQs
What is Awaab's Law and how does it affect landlords?
Awaab's Law, introduced following the death of two-year-old Awaab Ishak in 2020, requires social landlords to investigate damp and mould hazards within 14 days, begin repairs within 7 days for emergencies, and complete repairs within a reasonable timeframe. Failure to comply can result in legal action.
What's the difference between rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation?
Rising damp travels upward through walls from the ground, usually due to a failed damp proof course. Penetrating damp comes through walls horizontally, often from defective pointing or guttering. Condensation — the most common form — occurs when warm moist air meets cold surfaces. Each requires a different treatment approach.
How long does a damp survey take?
A professional damp survey typically takes 1–3 hours depending on the size of the property and the extent of the problem. You will receive a written report with findings and recommended remedial works.
Can tenants request a damp survey?
Yes. Tenants can request a survey and, under Awaab's Law, landlords are legally required to respond promptly. If you are a tenant experiencing damp or mould, you should report it to your landlord in writing first.
How much does a damp survey cost in London?
A professional damp survey in London typically costs between £200 and £400 depending on property size. This is separate from remedial works costs. Use our free quote service to get competitive prices from accredited surveyors.
