What a damp survey should tell you

A survey finds where the moisture is coming from before any work is priced: moisture readings, the pattern of staining and a written report that separates condensation, penetrating damp, plumbing leaks and — only where the evidence supports it — rising damp. That last one matters in Edinburgh: genuine rising damp is far rarer than it is diagnosed, and treating a wall that has condensation wastes the money and leaves the problem.

Look for a CSRT (Certified Surveyor in Remedial Treatment) or Property Care Association membership, and prefer a surveyor who isn’t also quoting for the treatment. An independent survey typically costs £200–£400.

Condensation or rising damp? How to tell the difference →

Awaab’s Law applies in England only. In Scotland, the Repairing Standard (Housing (Scotland) Act 2006) already requires homes to be free from damp and mould posing a significant health risk. Read the Awaab’s Law guide →

What kind of damp problems are common in Edinburgh?
Edinburgh's rental market is dominated by traditional sandstone tenement flats, spanning the Georgian New Town and the older Old Town closes. Tenement flats are highly susceptible to penetrating damp through deteriorated stonework, pointing, and roof flashings — remediation often requires coordination across multiple flat owners in the same building. Scotland runs its own legal framework, separate from England's Awaab's Law: the Repairing Standard (Housing (Scotland) Act 2006), being strengthened from March 2026 by new investigation and repair timescale regulations.
Where can Edinburgh tenants report damp and mould to the council?
Tenants and landlords in Edinburgh can report unresolved damp and mould directly to the council through its damp and mould page.Source: Edinburgh council damp and mould reporting page ↗
