Damp Hub is a UK-based information platform created for one purpose: to help people understand and tackle damp problems with confidence, and without the sales pitch.
We’re not a company. We don’t sell damp surveys or treatments.
Damp Hub is an independent blog run by researchers and contributors with one thing in common — a deep interest in how damp affects homes, and how property owners can deal with it effectively.
Mission Statement
To make damp knowledge accessible, honest, and jargon-free, helping UK homeowners and tenants understand, identify, and manage damp issues with confidence, not confusion.
Our Story
Damp Hub started as a small side project after seeing how confusing and overwhelming the damp industry can be for everyday homeowners.
Most websites out there are written by companies trying to sell a service, often using fear-based language or technical jargon that most people don’t understand.
We built this platform to change that — to provide clear, useful, and unbiased information anyone can understand, no matter their level of experience.
Who We Serve
Our readers include:
- UK homeowners who’ve noticed damp patches, mould, or condensation
- Tenants who want to understand their rights and responsibilities
- Landlords managing multiple properties with recurring damp issues
- Curious individuals wanting to learn the basics of property maintenance or identify different types
If you’re unsure about what kind of damp you’re dealing with, what causes it, or what your options are, you’re exactly who we write for.
Core Values
- Clarity Over Complexity: Good advice should be easy to understand.
- Honesty First: We don’t sell services or push products. Our independence keeps us unbiased.
- Practicality Matters: Every guide is written to be useful and realistic.
- Homeowner Empowerment: Helping people ask better questions and avoid scare tactics.
- Accuracy You Can Rely On: Everything is backed by research, expert input, and regular updates.
How We Work
We research every topic thoroughly before publishing.
Our information comes from:
- Public building resources
- Industry-recognised damp removal and control practices
- Expert insights
- New developments in regulation or treatment technology
We don’t recycle manufacturer claims or promote affiliate links. Every piece is reviewed for clarity, accuracy, and genuine usefulness.
Who’s Behind Damp Hub
Damp Hub is run by a small team of content specialists and researchers passionate about making technical topics more accessible.
While we’re not surveyors ourselves, we regularly consult with industry professionals to ensure our information is grounded, balanced, and practical.
We believe good advice shouldn’t require a call-out fee.
Our Business Model
The unique thing about us is that we’re 100% independent.
We don’t sell services and don’t run ads from treatment companies.
If we recommend a product or service, it’s because we genuinely believe it offers value, not because we’re being paid to say so.
To keep the blog growing and accessible, we may occasionally accept sponsored content or partnerships.
When we do, it will always meet strict editorial standards and be marked.
