Was given a damp survey before moving into a new property which estimated repair works of nearly £1,000 needed to stop rising damp at the foot of the staircase. Joseph tested the wall and found no evidence of damp whatsoever, and explained to me that the firm who had carried out the survey are known to falsify their reports. Commendable honesty and really friendly and professional guy who came out to my house at very short notice, just sorry there was no work for him when he arrived.
