Before you can fix the damp problem in your home, it’s important to correctly identify the source of the issue.

For most homeowners, finding out your property has damp usually occurs when it's been left untreated for a while and needs a damp repair solution. Damp problems are usually most apparent during the winter months, but you can look for warning signs at any time of the year.

1/5 rented properties were found to have problems with damp by consumer charity Which?, who carried out a survey on 30 property viewings and their letting agents.
