From Cambridge's older terraces and converted period buildings to Fenland properties where groundwater and drainage are genuine considerations, Cambridgeshire presents a broad range of moisture problems. Procure Group Ltd investigates the cause first and only recommends remedial work where the evidence supports it.

Local property context
The county divides fairly clearly. Cambridge and the surrounding villages contain a high proportion of older solid-wall property, much of it converted into flats or let to students and professionals, where occupancy levels and ventilation provision have a direct bearing on condensation. Further north, the Fenland towns of March, Wisbech, Chatteris and Whittlesey sit on low-lying reclaimed land where high water tables, drainage and ground levels are established features of the landscape rather than speculation.
St Neots, St Ives, Huntingdon and Godmanchester have all seen substantial modern expansion alongside their historic cores, so it is common to inspect a 1990s or 2000s home with a ventilation-driven condensation problem one day and a listed riverside building with genuine penetrating damp the next.
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.

Careful assessment of low-level dampness, which is frequently caused by something other than rising damp.

Surveys
Detailed, evidence-led survey reports for owners, landlords, agents and purchasers.
Surveys
Focused assessment of damp and timber concerns raised during a property purchase.

Ventilation
Extraction that removes cooking moisture at source, reducing condensation across the property.
Ventilation
Whole-property ventilation that gently introduces filtered air to dilute and displace moist internal air.
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.

Design and installation of waterproofing systems for basements and cellars.
Waterproofing
Waterproofing design for below-ground and earth-retaining structures.
Waterproofing

Who we work for
A clear explanation of what is happening in your home and what genuinely needs doing about it.
Documented investigations, photographic evidence and a proportionate scope of works you can act on.
Portfolio visibility, straightforward instruction and reporting you can pass to a landlord or tenant.
Consistent surveys across a managed estate, with quotations and works tracked in one portal.
Investigations that support relevant housing hazard assessment and damp-and-mould response processes.
Basements, plant areas 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, homebuyer report, RICS report or property inspection document for an initial AI-assisted summary and recommended next steps.
Describe the property and the problem and receive an initial cost guide before you commit to anything.
Private landlords, letting agents, managing agents, portfolio landlords, housing providers and commercial property managers use Procure Group for documented damp and mould investigations with findings they can act on and share.

Questions
No. Our St Ives page refers to St Ives in Cambridgeshire, the market town on the Great Ouse near Huntingdon. We do not operate in Cornwall.
They need different investigation. Low-lying ground, high water tables and drainage arrangements are relevant factors that a surveyor should consider, but they do not automatically mean rising damp — condensation and defect-driven water ingress are just as common in these towns as anywhere else.
Peterborough has its own dedicated page because it is a separate unitary authority. The service is the same; we simply do not duplicate the same city under two different sections of the site.
Next step
Book an inspection, ask for a callback, or use one of the online tools first. Whichever suits you — there is no obligation either way.
