When a Damp Report is Most Helpful

Before buying a used campervan or motorhome, especially from a private seller.
Before marketing your own vehicle so you know where you stand.
After noticing a smell, soft area or visual signs that something may not be right.

After a repair or reseal, to gain confidence that the area is now dry and stable.
As a periodic check on older vehicles that have spent time stored outside.

How Our Damp Check Process Works

Initial Conversation

We ask about the vehicle, its age, how it’s been stored and any concerns you already have.

Damp Readings

We take moisture readings in agreed areas throughout the habitation space, focusing on common problem zones.

Visual Checks

We note any visible indications of water ingress, soft spots or staining that support or explain the readings.

Results & Next Steps

We explain the readings in plain language and suggest whether monitoring, further investigation or repair is sensible.

Damp Check FAQs

Does a damp check guarantee there are no problems?

A damp check is a useful tool, but it can’t see inside every structure. We use readings and visual inspection to build a picture of what’s happening, and if anything looks concerning we may recommend more in‑depth investigation.

Will you give me the readings in writing?

Yes. We can provide a simple written summary of the areas checked, general readings and any comments so you have a record for your own use.

Can you carry out repairs if damp is found?

Depending on the nature and extent of the issue we may be able to help, or we may recommend a specialist repairer. The damp report is intended to inform you before you commit to any work.

Is a damp check disruptive to the interior?

Checks are non‑invasive; we work around your existing interior and only move items where necessary to access key areas.
