Damp and Mould in Your Home

Damp patch or mould coming back? This practical 49-page guide helps you work out what to check before paying for the wrong repair.

Written by Andy Kerrigan, RPSA Tech., an independent surveyor with more than 30 years in construction and property, it takes you around the outside of your home from roof to ground, then inside from loft to ground floor.

Inside you will find:

• Clear explanations of rain penetration, plumbing leaks and surface condensation

• Real inspection photographs and four worked examples, with client details removed

• What a moisture meter can and cannot tell you

• Printable and clickable outside and inside checklists

• A fillable seven-day damp diary and observation and repair records

• Questions to ask before agreeing to an inspection or repair quote

• Ways to check whether the repair worked, plus a written reporting template for renters

• Links to official guidance and further reading

You receive one 49-page PDF immediately after purchase. Read it on a phone, tablet or computer, or print it on A4. Fillable boxes work best in a full PDF reader.

This is general homeowner guidance, not an inspection or diagnosis of your property, medical advice, or a substitute for a qualified specialist where one is needed.
