A Smarter Approach to Damp
At Pattern IQ, we believe damp problems should be properly understood before they are treated. Our approach is simple: survey first, diagnose properly, and recommend only what is genuinely needed.
Damp can have many causes, from penetrating damp and rising damp to condensation, poor ventilation, plumbing issues, defective gutters, or historic problems that no longer require expensive intervention. That’s why we don’t believe in jumping straight to a treatment before understanding what is actually happening.
We take the time to inspect the property, identify the likely cause, and provide clear, honest advice so you can make an informed decision.

Expertise in Work
No Pressure. No Unnecessary Work.
We know that finding damp in your home can be stressful, particularly when you’re presented with expensive recommendations and aren't sure whether they are actually necessary.
At Pattern IQ, our priority is getting the diagnosis right.
If we find that significant remedial work is required, we’ll explain what needs doing and why. If the issue is minor, maintenance-related, condensation-related, historic, or doesn't justify expensive damp-proofing, we'll tell you that too.
We'd rather give you the right answer than sell you the wrong solution.

FAQ's
Damp Proofing FAQs
How do I know if I have rising damp?
Common signs include tide marks on walls (usually up to about 1 metre high), peeling wallpaper, white salt deposits (efflorescence), and a persistent musty smell. Our professional damp survey uses calibrated moisture meters and thermal imaging to give you a definitive diagnosis, not guesswork.
How long does damp proofing treatment take?
Most rising damp treatments can be completed in 1 to 3 days depending on the size of the property and extent of the damage. Penetrating damp repairs vary based on the external work needed. We provide a clear, realistic timeline during your initial survey so there are no surprises.
Do you offer guarantees on your work?
Absolutely. All our damp proofing work is fully guaranteed and compliant with building regulations. We provide company backed guarantees on every project. We stand behind our work because we're confident in the quality of our treatments and materials.
Will I need to move out during treatment?
In most cases, no. We work room by room and keep disruption to an absolute minimum. We protect your floors and furniture, and clean up thoroughly at the end of each day. We'll discuss any specific requirements during your survey.
How much does damp proofing cost?
Every property is different, which is why we offer free surveys. We'll assess the specific issues in your home and provide a clear, no obligation quote. We believe in honest pricing. No hidden costs, no inflated estimates to cover subcontractor margins.
