We'll take a proper look before you commit. Many quotes include unnecessary work or inflated costs.

No obligation. We'll review and highlight anything you should be aware of.

Most members recover the cost of the plan on their first issue.

Typical Costs

  • Minor treatment: £200 – £800
  • Mid-level works: £800 – £2,500
  • Structural damp fixes: £2,500+

Where Things Go Wrong

  • Treating visible damp only
  • Ignoring underlying cause
  • Over-specifying work

Insurance Considerations

Most damp issues are not insured, but the originating cause might be. Establishing the cause properly can reveal a claimable event (e.g. storm, burst pipe, roof failure).

Best Approach

  • Identify cause first
  • Avoid quick fixes
  • Validate quote and scope

Avoid Paying for the Wrong Solution

Once work starts, it's harder to challenge. Get the diagnosis confirmed before you commit.

Frequently Asked

Common questions

What causes damp in park homes most often?
Ventilation issues, water ingress, insulation defects and structural weaknesses. Condensation is by far the most common category — and the one most frequently misdiagnosed as rising damp.
How much does it cost to fix damp in a park home?
Minor treatment £200–£800, mid-level works £800–£2,500, structural fixes £2,500+. Establish the cause before agreeing to any invasive or structural work.
Can damp be claimed on my park home insurance?
Most damp itself is excluded, but the originating event (e.g. storm, burst pipe, roof failure) may be claimable. Document the onset and source before work starts.
Should I accept a full strip-out quote for damp?
Not without confirming the cause. Damp is the #1 category we see over-scoped. Always rule out condensation and ventilation before allowing invasive work.
