Thinking About Booking a Free Damp Survey in Manchester?
If you’ve noticed signs of damp — like musty smells, black mould, or damaged plaster — it can be hard to know where to start. Do you need a full damp proof course? Is it just condensation? Could it be rising or penetrating damp?
At Weather Wise Solutions, we offer free damp surveys across Manchester — carried out by Level 2 & 3 qualified surveyors with no pressure or sales pitch.
Here’s what’s included, how to prepare, and why acting early matters.
What’s Included in a Free Damp Survey
When we attend a property in Manchester, we don’t just look — we test, measure and explain. Your free survey includes:
✅ Moisture testing with a calibrated electronic moisture meter
✅ Surface temperature and humidity readings
✅ Visual inspection for signs of:
-
Salt deposits
-
Damp tide marks
-
Mould or fungal growth
✅ Checks for: -
Ventilation issues (e.g. no trickle vents, weak extractors)
-
Bridging plaster or high external ground levels
-
Gutter, pipework or roof issues if relevant
✅ Professional advice on next steps — clearly explained
You'll receive verbal feedback during the visit, plus a written quotation for any works if needed.
How to Prepare for Your Appointment
🟢 Please make sure:
-
Key areas (e.g. skirtings, corners, windows) are clear of furniture if possible
-
You can point out areas of concern (past leaks, old work, etc.)
-
The heating is on if it's winter (so we can take accurate readings)
We’ll take care of the rest.
How Long Does It Take?
Most surveys take 30–45 minutes, depending on property size.
You’ll be left with clear answers, not just a vague recommendation.
Why There’s a 3–4 Week Wait
As a family-run team, we keep standards high by only sending out qualified surveyors — never sales reps.
That means we’re usually booked up around 3–4 weeks in advance.
To secure a convenient time, we recommend booking early.
