Damp survey and diagnosis
Ceiling damp is a problem experienced by hundreds of homeowners across Sussex. Often manifesting into stubborn stains and mould, moisture in your ceiling is typically caused by condensation, burst pipes or a faulty roof.
As soon as you discover signs of ceiling damp, it’s important to accurately diagnose the problem and apply the correct programme of treatment to prevent further water damage. If you’d like a one-stop service to remove damp and restore your ceiling, we’re here to help.


Penetrating damp occurs when water infiltrates your property through external defects or internal issues, resulting in damage to your walls, ceilings, and furnishings. To effectively combat penetrating damp, it’s crucial to identify the source of water ingress and implement appropriate repairs. Our qualified damp proofing surveyor can assess your property to determine the cause of the dampness and the extent of required repairs.
Once the source of the dampness is identified, our damp proofing specialists will remove the affected material and apply a physical waterproofing membrane to expedite the drying process. Furthermore, external issues must be addressed, which may involve coating the exterior wall with a chemical water repellent to ensure water remains outside your property, protecting your living space from further damage. Prompt and effective management of penetrating damp is instrumental in preserving your home’s structural integrity and comfort.

Signs of ceiling damp typically include:
• Mould patches
• Discoloured paint
• Water droplets
• Cracking plaster
• Rotten timber fixings
