Combat Condensation, Penetrating Damp & Rising Damp with Expert Help
Rising Damp
Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground travels up through your walls, often leaving tide marks, peeling wallpaper, and long-term structural damage if left untreated.
Penetrating Damp
Penetrating damp is caused by water entering through external defects like cracked render, faulty gutters, or roof damage, leading to damp patches and mould inside your home.
Condensation
Condensation forms in poorly ventilated areas, causing black mould, musty smells, and damp walls — especially common in Southampton homes during colder months.

At Home Building & Surveying, we provide a full range of damp proofing solutions in Southampton, tailored to tackle all types of damp problems — from minor condensation to severe rising damp.
Chemical Damp Proof Course (DPC)
We use targeted injection methods to form a protective barrier within your walls, stopping rising damp from creeping up and damaging your interiors.
Basement & Cellar Tanking Systems
Our tanking membranes are ideal for basements and lower floors, creating a watertight seal that prevents moisture from seeping through walls and floors.
Condensation & Moisture Control

Excellent work, professional team, left clean and tidy. Very impressed with the work.
Had a meeting with their surveyor Andrew yesterday 15/02/2022. I have to say he was very professional. Very happy with the quote we have been given and hoping to go ahead with the work early summer. I can’t wait to see the finished product!
I spoke to Jack on the phone, who was very friendly and professional. Then James performed our survey. I found James and the experience with the Home Building & Surveying Company very refreshing, compared to others I have used in the past. They were very honest in their assessment and responses, with no hidden extras, providing very valuable advice. I am, and will in the future recommend them to anyone with damp challenges.
Job well done, new damp course and replastering completed. Paul and Dean were excellent, tidy and kept me updated throughout.
“First class job done by two great tradesmen!”
“I am very pleased with the work done from the initial survey to completion of the damp treatment. I would like to particularly commend Josh & Joe as a team they were courteous, efficient & professional in their workmanship”
Nathan and Kris were on time, professional and got the job done as quick as possible without missing a spot. Would highly recommend.
Really found the team to be honest, upfront and very well trained in how to work in peoples homes. Great work. Regards J.
Great company from initial call to completion. Gave quote with no hidden extras, started and finished on time – the finished product looks great. Kris & Nathan were stars of the show, arrived on time, worked hard all day, polite and personable, cleaned up when finished, a credit to the company.
Lee & Mason did the work on our property and we found them to be very polite, professional and clean ..wouldn’t hesitate to recommend
“The overall improvement is brilliant and the installation team were first class!”
Great work on a damp proof course and other bits and pieces. Arrived on time and knew exactly what to do. Leagues above the other quotes. Hope I don’t need you again but would be happy to recommend.
Immaculate, efficient service, it wasn’t a big deal for Luke and his team. Keep up the Good work. Highly recommended.
Very happy with the work Home Building carried out at my property, very knowledge, competitive and friendly. Thanks for the hard work of your installers too they did a great job! Thanks again
“Thanks to Franky, Daniel & Sonny for all their hard work. They have worked beyond expectation”
Good lads, grafted hard and done a good job.
Excellent customer service! James did a very thorough survey and identified a small breach in the tanking in the basement (not fitted by them) He was very knowledgeable and did his very best to find an ‘economical’ solution. He was very honest and I was able to conclude that at this point the cost of repair far outweighed the benefits gained. Should the situation change I would definitely use them.
Booked in quickly and survey was much more in depth then expected. Felt very comfortable in our decision and was a notch above the rest.
Really impressed with the guys and all their effort, the building looks like new and the guttering finishes it off nicely. cheers
I was very please with the work the company has done. I had damp throughout the house so had damp-proofing including an injection of damp course. Given the extent of the job they completed the work efficiently and with minimum disruption. The workmen were always polite and very helpful. The finished work was excellent. Only time will tell if the damp problem has been sorted but the company made it they would come back to fix any issues. I have no doubt they are true to their word and would recommend them to anyone.
The Home Building & Surveying Company were excellent in all departments – professional, reliable, well-informed. They resolved multiple residential issues with minimal fuss and would definitely use them again, though fingers crossed I shouldn’t need to!
Spoke to a very polite and friendly chap called Jack on the phone who explained all about the exterior painting they do, and I decided to have a survey. The surveyor Stuart was very knowledgeable, and I’ve decided to go ahead with them. There’s too many cowboys out there, so it’s nice to see such professionalism from a company for once.
