OUR DAMP SURVEY SERVICES

Unfortunately in many cases damp is ignored by the owners as a non-important issue.

However prolonged exposure to damp can cause serious health risks with mould growths and added moisture causing respiratory issues. The ongoing risk to the building is the deterioration of plaster, contamination from salts, and erosion of the structure causing sometimes unnecessary costs if the issue is correctly diagnosed sooner rather than later.

ABOUT ALPINE DAMP

Alpine Damp are an independent surveying company, with absolutely no connections to any damp proofing company, and therefore have no interest in financial rewards from remedial works.

We aim to provide you with a totally unbiased survey, in order that you have a true understanding of the issues that you may have. Unfortunately there are many companies that will provide a “Free Survey” with the hope of selling expensive remedial works at the end of the survey sometimes costing many thousands of pounds, and on many occasions, they are not required.

With the correct survey and diagnosis, in many situations the rectification is non expensive, and does not require expensive Damp Proof Courses to be installed, or expensive surfaces. The key is to be thorough in the survey approach, and locate the actual issue, as opposed to assuming that it is something else, normally misdiagnosed as Rising Damp.

Alpine Surveys made the whole process really simple, and everyone was polite and courteous throughout the whole process. The initial call from Sarah was really useful, with great communication throughout. Mark did the survey was really professional. He investigated the damp thoroughly and explained the results - I just wish I had used them before having "damp proofing" installed by another Checkatrade tradesman which is already failing and didn't resolve the problem. I now have a clear plan of what needs to happen to resolve, and feel confident in the results. Time will tell, but would recommend.

Damp Survey, in London

“The company was professional from start to finish. From the initial call I made, to final contact to pay the bill. The staff member who came to my house talked me through everything step by step, showing me what he had discovered as he went along, showing me readings on the testing equipment ( even drawing on his I pad to help explain), and giving me verbal advice ahead of that official report. He also wore plastic over his shoes indoors. I felt informed, and I trusted what he said. Even though it was bad news for me, I was glad to know her extend of the problem. I would recommend the company”

Damp Survey, in London

“Very professional service. I received my report the day after the survey. The report was extremely clear about areas of concern and actions required by the seller which has greatly aided my decision to buy the property. I also spoke to the surveyor Mark, who was very pleasant and helpful in giving more context to the findings. I plan to use Alpine Water mgt once more to go back and check that remedial works have been carried out as recommended prior to buying. I would certainly recommend this company to anyone.”

Damp Survey, in London

“The surveyor was not phased by the chaos of moving with boxes and furniture in disarray. He was punctual, polite and acted in a professional manner. When he published his report I spotted a small mistake due to a misunderstanding (not the fault of the surveyor), so called Alpine. The surveyor called me the next day and the rectified report was emailed to me the next day. Very happy.”

Damp Survey, in Banstead

“I used Alpine H2O to provide a specialist damp report on a property I was going to buy. Sarah was very helpful when booking this survey and Mark the surveyor went through in detail with me any queries I had regarding the findings of the survey. I am very thankful that I had this survey done as I would have possibly proceeded on a property without being aware of its defects. In addition Alpine H2O do not carry out remedial works and therefore do not benefit from anything found in the survey so the survey is entirely independent. I would certainly use Alpine H2O again.”

Damp Survey, in New Malden

“Very professional service, and a very thorough survey. Completely independent and only do surveys, so you can be sure they won't try to push you into getting unnecessary work carried out as they'd have nothing to profit from doing so.”

Damp Survey, in St. Albans

“Survey and investigation done as requested. Communication with company was excellent and report was produced quickly and thoroughly. Report was thorough and informative and the recommendations were easy to understand.”

Damp Survey, in Woking

“We currently have a damp issue in our property (both on an internal wall, and external wall). Alpine Survey' s carried out tests and produced a comprehensive report identifying the suspected cause of the damp and suggestions on next steps. I would highly recommend their services, ahead of calling out plumbers, trace and access, cctv surveys etc.The expert who visited the property was experienced, thorough and professional, and the customer service was excellent.”

Damp Survey, in London

“Very helpful, polite and efficient. Was kept informed of surveyors time of arrival. Would recommend as pleased with service.”

Damp Survey, in Watford

“The surveyor arrived at the time specified and took the trouble to ensure that the house remained as clean and tidy as it had been when he arrived. He took time to explain (in layman' s terms so the information was clear) what he was doing, what had caused the problem and gave good advice on how to solve it and how to find a suitable builder.”

Damp Survey, in Buckingham

“I Phoned through to Alpine Surveys on a Tuesday, they managed to get someone out on the following day (I guess I was lucky in this regard) and by the Wednesday evening the highly detailed report had been e-mailed through. I would thoroughly recommend Alpine Surveys on promptness and quality and would use them again.”

Damp Survey, in Portsmouth

“The surveyor was extremely helpful and explained verbally the issues and possible solutions on the day. We received the written report with photographs in two working days. The company kept us fully informed of the process and progress and was highly efficient in handling our enquiry and delivering the service.”

Damp Survey, in Chichester

“I was very impressed with the Mark Dobson who did the survey, he answered all my questions in detail and was clearly an expert in his field, I would not hesitate to use Alpine again compared to other companies who do a "free survey" and also carry out the works needed!!!- the information given on the free survey was incorrect in my opinion against what Alpine recommended”

Damp Survey, in Horley

“The investigation was carried out professionally and courteously, with all aspects of the issues and the treatment options explained clearly and patiently. I would not hesitate to recommend this company, as they provide impartial professionalism and a comprehensive plan of action to tackle damp problems.”

Damp Survey, in Uckfield

“Although I did not meet or speak directly to the surveyor as he surveyed our potential new home, both Sarah who was my main contact and Mark, the surveyor were efficient and detailed. The report was thorough and delivered a few days after the site visit. Any questions I had were also answered promptly. Worth the investment.”

Damp Survey, in Guildford

“Mr Dobson was professional and courteous. He undertook a thorough survey and the report was provided very promptly.”

Damp Survey, in Godalming

“I requested an independent investigation into potential damp in my property following claims by an Eco firm trying to sell me a product for £3K. Alpine Surveys are independent and their surveyor did a first class job. Initial communication with Sarah at Alpine by e-mail and phone was first class and Mark the surveyor talked me through the findings. The report provided within 48 hours was comprehensive and allayed my fears. £350 well spent and saved me a fortune. I would highly recommend Alpine.”

Damp Survey, in Aylesbury

“Surveyor turned up when they said they would. They explained the process and their initial thoughts on the issues. It was very obvious that they were knowledgeable in the field. Report was sent within 24 hours and was very comprehensive. Would recommend the company to others and will be considering them in the future if other surveys are required.”

Damp Survey, in Farnham

“This is the second time we have used Marks services and again the advise he has provided has been invaluable.”

Damp Survey, in Weybridge

“Professional, punctual, confident ,and more importantly found the problem that to date no one has managed to do. We are very impressed in every aspect and would have no hesitation in recommending or using them again.”

Damp Survey, in Weston-super-Mare

“Alpine Surveys undertook a thorough survey to investigate the cause of a damp patch. The surveyor inspected the internal and external walls and took measurements of the relative damp and moisture content. We received a report with the measurements and thermal images to show the extent of the damp spread. The report also contained recommendations to rectify the issue. The surveyor was very helpful and took time to explain the issues and his recommendations. This is very helpful before we speak to any builders, to make sure they diagnose the problem and undertake the correct work.”

Damp Survey, in Epsom

“So glad I had this report done but a professional company, thanks to the company doing a full detailed report of what was wrong with the house I was going for, gave me confidence with deciding if to continue with the sale.”

Damp Survey, in Poole

“Mark really open our eyes to the mechanics and behaviour of single skin older building. It's all about breathability with lime render/plaster not about waterproofing with cement mortar. Conducted a very thorough survey and produced an excellent report afterwards to help us fix our damp problem the correct way, just wish we'd had it done before we spent money getting the house rendered with waterproof cement render!”

Damp Survey, in Epsom

“Excellent work by a very knowledgeable and experienced person. I would always recommend Mark and Alpine to anyone having damp problems or indeed if they were considering purchasing a house.”

Damp Survey, in Poole

“Alpine provided a much-needed and invaluable professional investigation for me (overseas landlord) at my tenanted property. They gave me the facts and unbiased valid information-just what I needed! As an independent company, Alpine is an absolute treasure; because the price is agreed in advance and the results are accurately compiled. No hidden extras, no "I know someone who can do that job" or any other potentially misleading sales talk. They provide a no-nonsense service which enables homeowners to then make informed decisions based on their findings. Highly recommend Alpine Surveys! Thank you.”

Damp Survey, in Eastbourne

“I have instructed Alpine Surveys to complete two surveys in the last month on behalf of my company Censeo Property, one for a property we are buying and the other on behalf of a client. Both are basement flats. I had the same surveyor for both properties, he arrived on time and worked systematically through the properties using both damp meters and thermal imaging. The reports produced were detailed and specifically the Thermal Imaging allows for non-invasive investigation, which has been very useful to my client to allow for the eliminations of some of the potential causes of the damp”

Damp Survey, in London

“This survey was undertaken due to dissatisfaction with other free quotes from damp proofing companies. Despite professional approaches, the variation in establishing underlying causes of damp seemed to add up to educated guesswork. The Alpine surveyor spent much longer exploring the potential cause and the use of thermal imaging seemed to pinpoint the source more precisely. The surveyor involved me and demonstrated what he was doing. I felt satisfied that money spent on effective unbiased diagnosis would save money down the line on potentially expensive and unnecessary work.”

Damp Survey, in Bristol

“I telephoned to enquire whether I could book a survey and received a very quick response. The survey was booked within 2 days which was extremely convenient for me.”

Damp Survey, in Coulsdon

“Inspection of Commercial Property: Very happy with Alpine Surveys - Timely, efficient, organised, polite and informative. A pleasure to deal with. Sarah who organised the appointments and follow up calls was excellent too - Thank you.”

Damp Survey, in Barnet

“Prompt, flexible to rearrange timing due to bad weather and exhaustive reporting.”

Damp Survey, in Teddington

“I was very impressed with the service offered - from initial enquiry through to receiving the survey. Very knowledgeable, helpful and prompt in sending the survey through.”

Damp Survey, in Sutton

“We had a Damp Survey carried out on property we were in the process of buying. Following the Homebuyer's survey we initially carried out, there were a number of damp related items that we wanted to get checked with a more detailed damp survey. The survey was carried out on the date we booked and we received the report the following day. The report was very clear and highlighted the areas of concern and the steps to rectify. Very pleased that it allayed our fears and put our minds at rest. Would definitely recommend.”

Damp Survey, in Dunstable

“No work was carried out, purpose of visit was for survey. Your colleague was polite, kept us informed as to what he believed the issue was and appeared to carry out a detailed investigation.”

Damp Survey, in Godstone

“Mark was extremely thorough with his investigation and identified the sources of my problems which another company wasn’t able to. His report was very informative and I would have no hesitation in recommending him.”

Damp Survey, in Haywards Heath

“Mark arrived on time and carried out a full survey and gave me good explanations of the root causes and proposed corrective actions. The report provided the same day with detailed analysis of several issues. We've not yet been able to confirm that the proposal will solve the problem, because the suggested works in the proposal are quite expensive and disruptive, but I do believe the Mark has identified the roots of the problem. I hope we can report back good news once we can afford to carry out the works.”

Damp Survey, in Henley-on-Thames

“Dealing with Alpine has been a pleasure. The booking staff are very capable, informative and courteous and the surveyors who attended were extremely professional, knowledgeable and reassuring. The report arrived on time and its format and content, logical, precise and clear. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alpine.”

Damp Survey, in Sevenoaks

“Excellent service, the man that did the job was really helpful and all issues were resolved after actions taken as advised, would definitely use again and recommend.”

Damp Survey, in Slough

“The inspector was very thorough, attentive to all details and identified the elusive source of a leak that numerous other companies failed to identify over the years. Excellent work and excellent customer service!”

Damp Survey, in London

“The surveyor was extremely pleasant, professional, approachable and an overall nice happy chap. Arrived and cracked on straight away. He explained his findings in plain terms so I would understand when the survey came through. I like the fact they are an independent company and not selling other goods off of the back of the survey like alot of others. Competitively priced vs the £400 I was quoted by another company! Sarah was friendly and easy to deal with. Survey came a little later than expected but wasn't an issue. Would recommend!”

Damp Survey, in Luton

“Alpine provided a comprehensive report on damp in a house I am a prospective buyer for. I spoke to the surveyor over the phone about the report, and received email responses to further queries. Sarah was very helpful in arranging the survey and in follow up emails.”

Damp Survey, in London

“The surveyor, Mark, Was very friendly and polite and undertook the survey very efficiently. The report was sent well before the 48 hour estimate. I had one follow up question that was answered quickly and efficiently.”

Damp Survey, in London

“Mark was thorough and informative, he knew exactly what he was looking for and was professional throughout. He identified all of the problem areas which I was able to take back and I am now in the process of getting corrected.”

, in Maidenhead

“I was completely satisfied with all aspects of the service I received from pre visit arrangements through to production of survey report. Alpine Surveys Ltd are clearly experts in their field and exceptionally professional in set up and delivery. Mark Dobson who conducted the survey was thorough and precise and the report very comprehensive. I would unreservedly recommend Alpine Surveys Ltd to anybody.”

, in Surbiton

“The surveyor was very thorough and provided a comprehensive report including recommendations/ digital images within a few days of visiting our property. It provided us with peace of mind that planned redevelopment of our conservatory would resolve damp issues we had experienced. The appointment was set up quickly and efficiently through the Company's central office. There is no connection with any company undertaking repair work and thus they provide an impartial opinion. Would definitely recommend Alpine Surveys.”

, in Wokingham

“I called in Alpine Surveys to find out why a bedroom wall was getting damp. After the survey we were told the leak was coming from a water tank in the attic. Although common sense would have pointed to the water tank as the logical place for the leak three different plumbers had failed to find anything wrong with it over a period of some months. The survey was quite expensive but proved beyond doubt we needed to replace that tank. We also had a full report from Alpine confirming the rest of the house is dry which is helpful as we are in the process of selling the property.”

Damp Survey, in Poole

“Excellent job, the surveyor was extremely knowledgable and the report really well made. We learnt a lot and got excellent recommendations supported by great technology used.”

, in London

“Mark arrived for the appointment on time, he was polite and courteous, outlying at the begin the process of the Damp survey before proceeding. He conducted the survey in a thoughtful methodical manner and providing constant feedback, whilst working through the house. The valuable feedback and advice given throughout were in understandable measured points which demonstrated his experience this field.”

, in Hayes

“Best money I’ve spent! Was about to spend £X on a new dpc and decided at the last minute to get Alpine in. Produced a report in one day and gave s detailed recommendation which did not involve a new dpc! Mark and Sarah are highly professional and the service is excellent- 10/10!”

, in Slough

“Very experienced in profession. Offered tips and recommendations whilst on the visit. Approachable, professional, confident and polite. Great written report of the survey received afterwards, was clear and precise.”

, in Uxbridge

“Very professional and knowledgeable about the different types of damp. Worked efficiently and explained the problem clearly with great recommendations on next steps. Would definitely recommend!”

, in London

“Excellent, friendly work; explaining what was being done and recommending solutions before report. Very pleased.”

Damp Survey, in Hampton

“Very thorough survey done and thermal imaging also done and shown to us. Advised on what action to take. Mark(surveyor) was pleasant and professional and I had complete confidence in him”

Damp Survey, in Bournemouth

“I highly recommend Alpine Surveys. Mark was extremely knowledgeable and carried out a comprehensive survey/report on an old property I was in the process of purchasing. He gave sound advice and prevented me from wasting thousands of pounds on injection tanking, as recommended by another 'damp specialist'. In my opinion having independent advice is certainly the way to go if you want peace of mind that you won't be ripped off by companies offering 'free' damp surveys.”

Damp Survey, in Chalfont St. Giles

“Mark arrived early, was polite, professional and thankfully for us (finally after spending huge amounts of money getting nowhere on the issue) highly effective. We now know what the issue is (inside the house not outside). If we need to do this again these guys are the go to outfit. Thanks again.”
