Training 


‘We have had some extremely positive feedback on the training session, and believe it has been successful in providing all attendees with the capabilities and the confidence when diagnosing root causes of Condensation, Damp and Mould in the future’


The Riverside  Grou[ Manager’s comments following delivery of the course.


Condensation Survey


Damp Survey UK provided me with a report which included scientific evidence that showed that the issue with mould was being caused as a result of my tenant's lifestyle.  The report also contained common sense guidance on managing moisture produced in the home and the surveyor spent time showing my tenant how moisture actually travels aroud the home.   Would definately recommend this company and the advice they gave has solved the problem
