How the damp survey workflow runs in SurveyMate
The whole point of dedicated damp survey software is to collapse the gap between the inspection and the finished report. The old way — scribbled site notes, a camera roll of unlabelled photos, then hours of typing back at a desk — is slow and error-prone. SurveyMate runs the job as a single connected flow.
Capture on site
Record moisture and hygrometer readings, photograph defects, and dictate findings by voice as you inspect. Everything is captured against a structured template, so nothing gets missed and the data is consistent from job to job.
Diagnose with assistance
AI-assisted photo analysis helps flag damp, mould and condensation patterns, and the findings library classifies defects the way a damp specialist does — penetrating versus rising damp, timber condition grading, HHSRS hazard context — rather than as generic observations.
Generate the report
A branded PDF is produced from your structured findings before you leave the property. Because it is built from data, not free text, the report is consistent, complete and defensible every time — versioned and locked once issued.
Deliver and track
Send the report through the client portal for delivery and sign-off, raise an invoice, and track the whole caseload from one dashboard. For housing work, the Awaab's Law module keeps every statutory clock visible.
Why surveyors choose SurveyMate over generic survey tools
Most survey software is built for general property inspections and then adapted for damp work. SurveyMate is different — it was designed from the ground up for damp and timber surveyors by people who understand the workflow: PCA-standard findings categories, penetrating versus rising damp classifications, timber condition grading, and Awaab's Law reporting requirements built in as standard.
That specialist focus is what makes the reports defensible. A good damp report identifies the cause, classifies the severity, and justifies the recommended remediation — the standard set out in our guide to writing a defensible damp report. Because SurveyMate builds the report from structured findings rather than free text, that rigour is baked in rather than left to memory on a busy day.
The result is damp survey software that actually fits how you work — not a generic form builder you have to bend into shape. See how it compares in our roundup of what to look for in damp survey software.
Built for compliance, not just reporting
Damp and mould work in the UK is now framed by statute. Awaab's Law sets hard timescales for social landlords, and the HHSRS overhaul on 23 June 2026 changes how hazards are scored. SurveyMate keeps reports aligned with both — every finding carries the evidence, severity and audit trail that an ombudsman or tribunal expects.
For housing associations and the contractors who serve them, the dedicated Awaab's Law compliance module tracks every statutory clock per case. For the wider regulatory picture — RICS standards, PCA guidance, the Decent Homes Standard — see our compliance overview.

Damp survey software FAQs
What is damp survey software?
Damp survey software is a dedicated tool that lets a damp and timber surveyor capture inspection findings on site — moisture readings, photographs, defect classifications and recommendations — and turn them into a professional report without retyping everything back at the office. SurveyMate is built specifically for UK damp work, rather than a generic inspection app adapted for it.
Can I generate a damp report on-site?
Yes. SurveyMate produces a branded PDF report from your captured findings before you leave the property. Voice dictation and AI-assisted photo diagnosis speed up capture, and the report is generated from structured findings so it is consistent and defensible every time.
Is there a mobile damp and mould inspection app?
Yes — SurveyMate is a mobile damp and mould survey app that runs on iOS and Android, designed for capturing inspections on site rather than back at a desk. You record readings, photos and findings on your phone or tablet and generate the report from the same device. There's a full web app for office work too.
Does SurveyMate work offline?
Yes. Full offline mode means you can capture an entire survey — readings, photos, notes — with no signal, and it syncs automatically when you are back online. Damp and timber work routinely happens in basements, voids and rural properties, so offline capture is built in rather than bolted on.
Is damp survey software worth it for a sole trader?
For most independent surveyors, yes. The time saved on report write-up alone — turning hours of office typing into minutes of on-site generation — typically pays for the subscription many times over, and a consistent, branded report wins repeat instructions. The Solo plan is designed for exactly this.
Does SurveyMate help with Awaab's Law compliance?
Yes. SurveyMate includes an Awaab's Law module that tracks the statutory timescales for social landlords (investigate a significant damp and mould hazard within 10 working days, written summary within 3, safety work within 5), with a per-case audit trail. It is built for housing associations and the contractors who serve them.
How much does damp survey software cost?
SurveyMate is a single monthly subscription with no per-report fees and no hardware to buy. Plans run from Solo for individual surveyors up to Agency and Enterprise for multi-surveyor firms and housing providers. See the pricing page for current plan details and the 14-day free trial.
