Real Job

One Team.
Start to Finish.

Many companies survey your property and hand you a report. You then have to find your own contractor, manage the job and hope they fix what was diagnosed. We don’t work that way.

Our engineers handle the detection, the repair and the reinstatement. One call, one team, one bill.

  • Damp proofing, mould treatment and waterproofing
  • Leak detection using thermal imaging and tracer gas
  • CCTV drainage surveys and high-pressure jetting
  • Central heating leaks and boiler installation
  • Wet rot, dry rot and timber treatment
  • Professional reports for landlords, councils and insurers

Are You Compliant?

Since October 2025, social landlords must act on emergency hazards within 24 hours, investigate damp and mould within 10 working days, and provide a written summary within 3 working days. Our surveyors investigate and our reporting team delivers a compliant written report, fast.

Independent Survey Report

Full written survey with moisture readings, photos and remediation plan. Prepared to the standard councils and housing associations require.

24-Hour Turnaround

Reports typically delivered within 24 hours of survey. Meet the 10-working-day investigation requirement without delay.

Legal-Format Reports

Formatted for Housing Ombudsman complaints, local authority escalations and legal proceedings.

We Fix It Too

In-house treatment means you can meet the 7-day repair commencement requirement without a separate contractor.

Water leaking and mould treatmentWe had a leak repair done recently and after getting several plumbing quotes, this company was by far the cheapest. They arrived on time, quickly carried out the leak detection, found the source of the water leak, and fixed it the same day. Since the repair, we’ve treated the mould in one of the bedrooms that had been caused by the leak, and everything is now sorted. Professional, efficient, and great value for money. Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable plumbing services or leak repairs.
