Why independence matters

A diagnosis you can trust

Most damp surveys are carried out by companies that also sell treatments. That creates a conflict of interest. LB Building Diagnostics is entirely independent — we have no products to sell and no remediation services to upsell. Our only job is to find out what's actually causing the problem and give you an honest, evidence-based report.

Not affiliated with any damp-proofing or treatment company

"We diagnose. We don't treat. That's the difference."

How a survey works

01

Book a Survey

Get in touch to discuss your concerns. We'll arrange a convenient time to visit your property and explain exactly what the survey will cover.

02

On-site Inspection

We carry out a thorough inspection using specialist diagnostic equipment — moisture meters, thermal imaging, and hygrometers — to identify the source and extent of any issues.

03

Detailed Written Report

You receive a clear, jargon-free written report with our findings, the likely cause, and independent recommendations — not a sales pitch for treatments.

Our services

Specialist surveys for every damp and mould issue

Damp Surveys

Rising damp, penetrating damp, and lateral damp — we identify the type, source, and extent of moisture ingress using calibrated diagnostic equipment. Our reports are suitable for use with insurers, solicitors, and local authorities.

Mould Investigations

Mould growth is a symptom, not a cause. We investigate the underlying conditions — ventilation, thermal bridging, moisture levels — to establish why mould is forming and what needs to change.

Condensation Assessments

Condensation is the most common and most misunderstood cause of damp in UK homes. We assess ventilation, heating patterns, and building fabric to give you a clear picture of what's driving the problem.

Pre-purchase Surveys

Buying a property with suspected damp? We provide independent pre-purchase damp assessments that give you an honest picture before you commit — with no vested interest in the outcome.
