Hull & East Yorkshire
Damp on a survey or a leak in an empty house can stall a sale in a week. Quick drying and a written record of what was done is usually what gets it moving again.
Hull buyers are more flood-aware than most, and for good reason: the city council counts over 95% of homes as at risk from at least one kind of flooding. The most useful thing you can hand a buyer is facts. Our free postcode flood risk checker shows Environment Agency risk bands and recorded flooding for any Hull postcode, and the government's long-term flood risk service rates the exact address. Buyers of homes built from 2009 onwards should also know Flood Re doesn't cover newer properties, which can affect insurance quotes.
If you're marketing an empty house over winter, ask the seller to leave the heating on low or have the water drained down, and make sure you know where the stopcock is. If something does happen, ring us and we can attend with your keys.
Our water damage cost estimator gives a price range for the job and shows who usually pays for what, whether you own, let or rent.
Mould starts growing within 24 to 48 hours of a leak. The sooner drying starts, the less damage and the lower the cost.
