Why do commercial buildings suffer from damp?

Commercial buildings often experience damp due to roof leaks, poor ventilation, condensation, and ageing construction materials.

What does a commercial damp survey include?

A full inspection of walls, ceilings, floors and structural timber, moisture measurements, and a written report with recommendations.
