Procure Group Ltd carries out damp investigations, mould and condensation assessments, timber inspections and below-ground damp protection throughout Bedfordshire, from Bedford and Kempston in the north to Luton, Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard in the south. Every enquiry begins with establishing what is actually causing the moisture, not with a treatment recommendation.

Local property context
Bedfordshire covers a wide spread of construction: Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Bedford and Luton, interwar and post-war semi-detached housing, later estate development around Houghton Regis and Kempston, and older solid-wall cottages and farm buildings in the rural mid-county villages. Solid walls, cavity walls and modern timber-frame construction all behave differently when they get wet, so the same symptom can have very different causes from one street to the next.
A large private rental sector across Luton and Bedford means a significant share of our county work involves property owners who need clear written findings, photographic evidence and a proportionate scope of works they can act on and share with a occupiers.
What we are asked for
Each of these is a different problem with a different remedy. Which one applies depends on what the readings and the building show.
An evidence-led investigation of what is making the wall wet, with readings and findings you can act on.
Where a damp-proof course has genuinely failed, the appropriate remedial specification for the wall in question.
Professional remediation of the contamination, and control of the moisture conditions behind it.
Humidity, ventilation and surface temperature measured before any equipment is recommended.
Damp at or just below external ground level investigated, with localised protection where remediation calls for it. We do not install basement or cellar waterproofing.
Services
Each service below links to the full national service page, where the investigation, the treatment options and the circumstances in which it is not appropriate are set out in detail.
Damp
A structured investigation to establish the likely cause of dampness before any remedial work is recommended.
Damp
Careful assessment of low-level dampness, which is frequently caused by something other than rising damp.
Damp
Investigation of moisture entering through walls, roofs, openings and rainwater goods.
Surveys
Mould & condensation
Assessment of moisture production, ventilation, heating and insulation to reduce surface condensation.
Mould & condensation
Treating the mould is only part of the solution. We investigate why it developed in the first place, then remediate the contamination and control the conditions that caused it.
Timber
Assessment and treatment of structural timbers affected by moisture, decay or insect attack.
Timber
Establishing whether insect activity is current before recommending any treatment.
Timber
Identifying and repairing timber decay caused by sustained high moisture content.
Timber
Careful investigation of suspected dry rot, which can extend beyond visibly damp timber.
Repairs & finishes
Replastering specifications appropriate to walls affected by dampness or salt contamination.
Repairs & finishes
Repairs to the external fabric that address the source of moisture entry.
Repairs & finishes
Drying, repair and reinstatement following leaks, escapes of water or flooding.
Repairs & finishes
Insulation of solid walls with careful attention to moisture risk and detailing.
Our work
Photographs from Procure Group projects. Work of this kind is carried out across the area, so none is presented as a property at a particular address unless the caption says so.
Who we work for
A clear explanation of what is happening in your home and what genuinely needs doing about it.
Plant areas, stores and mixed-use buildings assessed with the building's use in mind.
Our approach
The purpose of a survey is to identify the underlying cause of the moisture, not to justify a particular treatment.
Transparent pricing
A Damp Proofing Quote Assessment is £114 plus VAT. The fee can be deducted from the final invoice if eligible remedial works proceed, subject to the agreed terms. Other inspection types are priced according to their scope.
Inspection requirements vary between properties, so larger, more complex or commercial buildings are priced according to their scope. You will be told the fee before the visit is confirmed — there are no charges added afterwards.
Online tools
Answer a few simple questions, upload photographs and receive an initial summary of possible causes and the type of survey that may be appropriate.
Upload an existing damp report, building survey, RICS report or property inspection document for an initial AI-assisted summary and recommended next steps.
Send us the details and photographs of the problem and our team will price the work and put it in writing.

Questions
Yes. We work across the MK, LU and Bedfordshire SG postcode districts, including Bedford, Luton, Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard, Biggleswade, Sandy, Ampthill, Flitwick, Kempston, Houghton Regis, Shefford, Arlesey, Stotfold and Potton. If a postcode falls outside our operating area we will tell you rather than take the enquiry.
Availability varies with the time of year — winter is consistently busier because condensation problems become visible. When you book you will see the appointment slots that are genuinely available rather than a promise we cannot keep.
Yes. You can upload an existing damp report, building survey or RICS report for an initial AI-assisted summary, which is then reviewed by a surveyor. It is a sensible first step if you have been quoted for extensive damp proofing and want to understand whether the evidence supports it.
