Independent Damp Survey Leicestershire
Richard Bull MISSE, ACIEH provides honest, evidence-based damp surveys across Leicestershire and the entire LE postcode area. Professional thermal imaging carried on every survey, used as needed. No sales pressure — ever.
Leicestershire is a county of varied character — Leicester city at its heart, the former coalfield communities of the northwest, the market towns of the east and south, the hunting shires of Melton and Harborough, and the rural landscape of Charnwood Forest. The entire LE postcode area falls within our catchment.
Why Leicestershire Properties Need Independent Damp Surveys
The county’s former coalfield to the northwest and its river valleys create variable ground moisture conditions across different areas. The bulk of Leicestershire’s housing stock, however — Victorian terracing in Leicester, interwar estates in Oadby and Wigston, and traditional market town property across the county — is most commonly affected by condensation and penetrating damp, not rising damp.
Former Coalfield Housing
Coalville, Ibstock, Hinckley, Earl Shilton
Victorian workers’ terracing built for miners, with solid brick walls, lime mortars replaced with cement, and a history of inappropriate damp treatments.
Leicester Suburbs
Oadby, Wigston, Blaby, Braunstone
Interwar and post-war housing with cavity wall construction, flat-roof extensions, concrete slab DPMs, and condensation from modern retrofitting.
Market Town Stock
Market Harborough, Loughborough, Melton Mowbray, Lutterworth
Traditional brick construction in Leicestershire’s market towns, with the full range of penetrating damp, condensation and drainage-related moisture issues.
Rural Leicestershire
Charnwood Forest, Vale of Belvoir, High Leicestershire
Traditional stone and brick farmhouses and cottages requiring breathable lime-based repair rather than modern impermeable treatments.
