Our Surveys

• Damp & Moisture Surveys: Damp and moisture problems can affect the condition, appearance and usability of commercial buildings. If the underlying cause is not correctly identified, inappropriate remedial work can be costly and may fail to resolve the problem. Learn about our damp surveys.
• Mould & Condensation Surveys: Mould growth and condensation can be symptoms of underlying moisture, ventilation or building-related issues. Our surveys can investigate the conditions contributing to mould growth and provide recommendations for addressing the underlying problem.
• Timber Surveys: Timber can be affected by moisture, fungal decay and wood-boring insects. Early identification can help prevent further deterioration and determine whether affected timber requires treatment, repair or replacement. Our surveyors can assess affected areas and provide recommendations for appropriate remedial work. Learn about our timber surveys.
• Water Damage & Insurance Reports: Prokil can assist with specialist investigations and reports. We work with property owners, businesses, property professionals, insurers and loss adjusters where specialist damp, timber or water damage investigation is required.

• Commercial Pre-Acquisition Surveys: Specialist damp, timber and moisture surveys to support commercial property acquisition and due diligence.

• Basement Surveys & Conversion Assessments: Prokil can investigate damp, moisture, water ingress, mould and related defects in basements and below-ground areas. Our specialist surveys can help identify potential issues before or during a basement conversion. We can then recommend and carry out appropriate waterproofing, damp-proofing and remedial works to help create a dry, usable basement.

Prokil provides specialist damp, timber, moisture and building-defect surveys for buyers, investors, landlords, occupiers and property professionals as part of the wider commercial property acquisition process. We can survey for issues such as damp, water ingress, dry rot, wet rot, woodworm, timber deterioration, mould, and other defects in our specialist areas. Our findings provide technical information to support property condition assessments, refurbishment and fit-out planning, remedial works, and future maintenance requirements. Prokil’s specialist surveys are designed to complement a wider commercial building survey or technical due diligence assessment, rather than replace it.
