Damp Proofing & Mould Specialist: Taunton FAQs
What is a damp survey?
A Damp Survey is a professional inspection of a building to identify the type, cause, and extent of moisture issues. It includes a detailed report on rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation, along with recommended treatments to protect the building’s structural integrity.
What does a damp survey cost?
A professional Domestic Damp Survey in Taunton typically starts from £150, depending on the size and complexity of the property. This fee often includes a detailed written report and a quote for any necessary remedial works.
How is the data collected for a damp survey?
Our specialist surveyors use a combination of visual inspections and diagnostic tools, such as Protimeter moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras. We assess the building’s construction, external ground levels, and ventilation. The surveyor will need access to all rooms and, in some cases, may need to inspect sub-floor voids or roof spaces to accurately identify the root cause of the moisture.
How long does a Damp Proofing Guarantee last?
Most professional damp proofing treatments, such as chemical DPC injections or tanking, come with a 20-year guarantee. While the treatment is designed to last the lifetime of the building, an insurance-backed guarantee provides peace of mind regardless of how many times the property is sold or rented out.
Is damp remediation a legal requirement?
Yes, under the Landlord and Tenant Act and the 2026 Awaab’s Law updates, landlords have a legal duty to ensure their properties are free from damp and mould that could impact a tenant’s health. If you are selling a property, a damp issue flagged in a buyer’s homebuyer report can also legally stall the sale until a specialist survey is provided.Yes, if you are renting or selling your property you must have a valid EPC certificate.
How do I stop mould and improve my home’s air quality?
How do I stop recurring black mould?
- Improve Ventilation: Install humidistat-controlled extractor fans in “wet rooms” like kitchens and bathrooms to automatically remove moist air.
- Clear External Air Bricks: Ensure that sub-floor air bricks are not blocked by soil or decking, allowing the house to “breathe” naturally.
- Install PIV Systems: A Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) system is the most effective way to eliminate condensation dampness across the whole house.
- Fix Leaking Gutters: Repairing overflowing gutters or cracked downpipes prevents penetrating damp from soaking into Taunton’s traditional brick or stone walls.
- Lower External Ground Levels: If the ground outside is higher than your internal floor, water can bypass your damp course. Lowering paths or flowerbeds can solve this.
- Upgrade to Specialist Plaster: After a damp treatment, using salt-neutralising plaster prevents old hygroscopic salts from pulling moisture back into your wallpaper.
- Check Window Seals: Ensure double-glazing seals are intact to prevent cold spots where condensation and mould thrive.
- Avoid Drying Clothes Indoors: If you must dry clothes inside, use a dehumidifier to catch the moisture before it settles on your cold walls.
- Insulate Cold Spots: Adding internal wall insulation to “cold” north-facing walls can prevent the temperature drop that causes condensation to turn into mould.
- Professional Mould Remediation: Use professional-grade biocidal washes rather than standard bleach to kill mould spores at the root, preventing them from returning in the winter months.
