Damp Inspection in Kensington
ProMaster Gecko provides professional damp inspection services throughout Kensington. We identify the precise source of moisture issues before recommending any remedial damp proofing or structural waterproofing works, ensuring solutions are evidence led and appropriate to the property.
What We Assess During a Damp Inspection in Kensington
Kensington properties range from grand period townhouses to converted mansion blocks and luxury apartments. Each building type responds differently to moisture, which is why every inspection is conducted systematically before any remedial action is considered.
We assess the structure as a complete system to determine the true source of dampness rather than treating visible symptoms alone.

Moisture readings across affected internal wall areas

External masonry, render and pointing condition

Damp proof course height and integrity

In certain situations, symptoms of damp may be linked to rising damp, which is explained further in our rising damp guide.
