If you suspect damp, save yourself potentially thousands of pounds of unnecessary building work with an independent damp survey from Richard.
Richard is CSDD qualified (Certified Surveyor in Damp Detection) and is authorised to conduct fully comprehensive inspections of a wide range of damp related issues.
By finding the cause of the problem, he will be able to give advice on the correct course of action to be taken, whether that be for mould, damp or condensation issues. With his specialist equipment and in depth knowledge, Richard will show you how to rectify your damp problem permanently but without major costs.
Richard regularly conducts Damp surveys throughout Leicester, Derby and Nottingham including:
Being local to Derby, Richard is also well aware that the mix of industrial and middle-class housing in the towns around Derbyshire can be prone to black mould, dry rot, wet rot and woodworm.
As well as these issues, condensation and mould that build up in your home can not only damage your property but can also lead to a wide range of health problems. By reducing humidity levels you can prevent condensation appearing on walls and windows and Richard can offer advice on how to prevent these issues from occurring or reoccurring in the future.
Richard is highly experienced in dealing with a variety of clients and provides an independent service. Richard will never sell anything extra other than his expert advise and will never advise any work on a property which is unnecessary.
Part of a national independent company, Richard is one of our Damp Detectives who will ensure that you receive a high quality service that will find the cause of your damp and mould problem.
1. Ethical quoting
You can contact Richard for an initial, no obligations assessment when he will give you an initial idea of the cost of the survey. These surveys provide great value for money and typically cost less than a standard home buyer’s survey. He will also provide an overview as to what areas of the property he will need access to and inform you of what will need to be inspected. This will form the contract between us and will be sent to you by email.
2. Quick Response Time
If during the initial assessment Richard feels that he is unable to complete the survey quickly he will let you know immediately as we aim to conduct your survey to the time requirements you have specified.
3. Site Visit
For a small residential property, the survey normally takes 3 hours. If you are happy with the free assessment then Richard will arrange to come and visit the property and if necessary liaise with tenants, estate agents or the property owners to gain access to the property and undertake the survey. If necessary, Richard will also check on the effectiveness of remedial actions which might have taken place in the property.
4. Survey Report
Richard will capture all of the necessary information to draft a report during his visit. If you request a written report, he will then send this to you via email in a PDF format within 5-7 days from the receipt of payment, which is due on completion of the survey.
The report includes a variety of elements including a wider scope survey of the entire property as well as;
If you need further clarification on anything in the report or if you are unsatisfied with our findings, Richard will arrange as many appointments as needed to help clarify anything. All revisits are subject to an additional reduced fee.

We are The Damp Detectives! The Damp Detectives Podcast takes a unique approach to the subject of damp, mould and condensation in your home.
Take a listen to our latest podcasts on the following platforms:
Damp and mould can make you more likely to have respiratory infections, … babies and children, elderly people and those with existing skin problems may suffer the most.
The expert opinion from Richard Bull of Damp Detectives was very reassuring. We have a 100 year old roof with many areas of emerging damp in the house. After a thorough inspection it was reassuring to know that the roof was sound but there were number of different and affordable solutions to the problems we are experiencing. We would highly recommend this service.
I can’t recommend these people highly enough. Richard came to our property and carried out a very thorough survey and produced an in-depth report explaining in simple terms what we should do to combat our damp.
Please get them in before you spend a fortune on messy and often pointless injection treatments.
