Gases, Chemical Vapours & Airborne Particle Testing

Comprehensive environmental air quality and gas screening tailored to specific property concerns.

Screening Suite Includes: IAQ air quality assessment, Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC/VOC), Formaldehyde (HCHO), Particulate Matter (PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10), Sewer Gases (H2S, NH3, CH4), Combustion Gases (CO, O2) and ventilation performance.

Diagnostic Value: Air quality issues are often linked to damp, leaks and mould, but they cannot always be identified by a visual inspection alone. This testing helps detect hidden airborne contaminants, gases, chemical vapours and fine particles that may affect the property’s condition and indoor environment. It can also help identify problems such as poor ventilation, sewer gas ingress, off-gassing from building materials, combustion-related gases, or airborne particles following water damage, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the property’s condition.

It is also useful where a property has persistent unpleasant or unexplained odours. The testing can help investigate foul smells caused by damp, water damage, stagnant water, drains, sewer gases or chemical vapours, allowing the source of the odour to be identified more accurately.

  • Indoor Air Quality Testing- IAQ
  • Volatile Organic Compound Testing- TVOC / VOC
  • Formaldehyde Testing- HCHO
  • Fine Particulate Matter Testing- PM1.0 / PM2.5 / PM10

  • Carbon Monoxide Testing- CO
  • Hydrogen Sulfide Testing- H2S
  • Ammonia Odour
  • Testing- NH3
    Oxygen Level Testing- O2
  • Ventilation / Stale Air Assessment- IAQ / TVOC
  • Drain Smell Investigation- H₂S / NH3 / CH4
  • Chemical Odour Investigation- TVOC / VOC / HCHO / NH3
  • Post-Leak Air and Surface

  • Combustion Gas Safety Screening- CO / O2 / CH4
  • Building Material Off-Gassing Assessment- TVOC / HCHO
  • Airborne Pollutant Screening- PM1.0 / PM2.5 / PM10 / TVOC

Promotional Price: £199 + VAT (Limited Time Offer)

Offer ends in--Days--Hours--Mins--Secs

The Level 1 Damp Survey is a basic damp inspection designed to check the main accessible areas of the property for damp, leaks
and visible moisture-related issues.

Equipment Included

  • Damp meter

What Is Included

  • Inspection of walls
  • Inspection of floors
  • Inspection of ceilings
  • Leak inspection of drains and plumbing
  • Damp information and prevention guide

Best For

This survey is best for customers who need a basic damp check where only a damp meter is used. It is most suitable for simple

damp concerns, such as suspected rising damp, visible damp patches, minor moisture concerns or a general check of accessible
areas.

The Level 1 Damp Survey is suitable where the customer wants a straightforward inspection of walls, floors, ceilings, drains and
plumbing without the use of advanced survey equipment.

Level 2

Detailed Damp & Timber Survey

Standard price: £399 + VAT

Promotional Price: £299 + VAT (Limited Time Offer)

Offer ends in--Days--Hours--Mins--Secs

The Level 2 Damp Survey includes everything in the Level 1 survey, with additional timber decay inspections and deeper
moisture testing.

Equipment Included

  • Damp meter
  • Deep-penetration damp meter for all building materials
  • Non-invasive moisture detection equipment

What Is Included

  • Inspection of walls
  • Inspection of floors
  • Inspection of ceilings
  • Leak inspection of drains and plumbing
  • Dry rot inspection
  • Wet rot inspection
  • Woodworm inspection
  • Deep moisture detection in building materials
  • Non-invasive moisture testing under floorboards and subfloors where accessible
  • Damp information and prevention guide

Best For

This survey is best for customers who need a damp and timber inspection. It is suitable where there may be concerns about damp,

wood rot, dry rot, wet rot, woodworm or moisture hidden behind building materials.

The Level 2 Damp Survey uses equipment that can read deeper into building materials, including areas such as subfloors, under
floorboards, behind panelling and other accessible hidden areas. This allows us to get a better understanding of whether there may
be hidden damp within the property without dismantling or damaging materials.

This survey is very suitable for home buyers and sellers who want a more detailed damp inspection before purchasing or selling a
property.
