FAQ

Common questions

Will you also quote to fix the problem?

No. VCT carries out no remediation, treatments or product sales of any kind. The diagnosis is the whole service — you're free to get quotes from any contractor once you know what's actually needed.

My mortgage survey already flagged damp — do I still need this?

Usually, yes. A mortgage valuation or HomeBuyer Report typically flags a concern without diagnosing the cause. An independent damp diagnosis identifies whether it's condensation, penetrating or rising damp, and what — if anything — actually needs doing.

How quickly can you visit?

Same-week appointments are usually available across the core South Wales coverage area.

Do you cover pre-1919 and listed buildings?

Yes — traditional and solid-wall buildings are a particular focus, assessed on breathability and construction type rather than a generic modern damp survey approach.

Do you work with landlords and letting agents?

Yes. Alongside damp diagnosis, VCT offers fire risk assessment, legionella risk assessment and PAT testing for landlords and agents, with standing partner rates available for regular instruction.

Is the price fixed?

Yes — you'll get a fixed quote before anything is booked, based on the property and the service required.
