About Us
An independent, research-led resource on damp, condensation and mould in UK homes.
DampSense is an independent, research-led resource that helps UK homeowners, tenants and landlords understand moisture problems and make informed decisions.
Why we exist
Damp is one of the most misunderstood problems in British housing. Advice online is often contradictory, and some of it is written by companies that sell a single, expensive solution. We set out to provide something different: clear, cautious, well-sourced guidance that puts correct diagnosis first.
What we do
- Explain the causes, signs and treatments for condensation, penetrating damp, rising damp and mould.
- Provide free, genuinely functional tools — a diagnosis assistant, cost calculator, dew point calculator and more.
- Give indicative UK cost ranges to help you budget and sense-check quotes.
- Signpost tenant rights across the four UK nations.
What we are not
We are a publisher, not a firm of chartered surveyors. Our guides are general information, not a professional building survey, a structural assessment or legal advice. We never diagnose a problem from a photograph, and we never guarantee that a particular repair will solve every problem.
How we make money
We intend to support the site through advertising and, where relevant, affiliate links to products — always clearly disclosed. Advertising never influences our editorial judgement, and we do not fabricate product tests or reviews.
