UK Damp Defence stops Category 1 HHSRS hazard notices before they land. Same-day damp surveys, mould remediation, and permanent damp treatment. When tenants threaten legal action over damp, we prove you're fixing it.
Survey today. Treatment plan tomorrow. Enforcement avoided.
RICS-qualified surveyors, PCA-certified damp specialists, thermal imaging diagnostics. We identify rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation issues—then fix them permanently.
The ones that actually fix the problem (not just paint over it)
RICS-qualified surveyor visits with thermal imaging camera and moisture meters. Identifies rising damp (ground level), penetrating damp (walls/roof), or condensation. Takes 60-90 minutes. Written report same day. Councils accept our surveys as proof you're addressing HHSRS Category 1 hazards (£5,000+ fine).
Professional mould remediation using biocide treatment and HEPA filtration. Not just bleach—we kill the spores and treat the underlying damp cause. Takes 1-2 days depending on severity. HSE guidance says visible mould = health risk. Tenants can sue for respiratory issues if you ignore it.
Chemical DPC injection for rising damp (walls wicking moisture from ground). We drill holes every 120mm at mortar level, inject silicone/water-repellent cream. Guaranteed 20 years. Takes 1-2 days plus drying. Original DPC fails after 50+ years—Victorian houses rarely have intact ones.
Install positive input ventilation (PIV) systems or mechanical extract fans to stop condensation damp. Common in modern airtight homes with poor airflow. PIV unit fitted in loft pushes filtered dry air through property. Takes 3-4 hours. Stops bedroom/bathroom mould within 2 weeks.
Fix external walls, repoint brickwork, replace damaged render, seal around windows. Penetrating damp = water entering through walls/roof during rain. Causes brown stains, peeling wallpaper, crumbling plaster. We identify entry points, seal them, then replaster internally. Takes 3-7 days.
Full written report with photos, moisture readings, thermal images. Proves you've identified the issue and have a treatment plan. Councils accept these when tenants complain. Courts accept them in disrepair claims. Takes 24 hours after survey. Protects you from "failure to address hazards" charges.
Because councils don't wait, and neither do we
