What the record should contain
- Job and block references, survey date and the instructed scope.
- Areas accessed and any areas that could not be inspected.
- Methods used and relevant photographs, thermal images or readings.
- Observed findings separated from interpretation.
- Conclusions with confidence and limitations.
- Recommended next steps and the proposed remedial scope.
Confirm the actual report format and delivery arrangements when commissioning the survey. Attendance time and report turnaround should be agreed separately.

The sample demonstrates the format only. It is not a completed job, a customer case study or evidence of an outcome. It contains no resident information.
Read findings in context
A moisture reading does not, by itself, establish that a building is dry or provide a drying sign-off. The method, material, measurement location and survey conditions matter.
The report should preserve uncertainty rather than hiding it. If a source remains unconfirmed, it should say what further access or investigation would help.
Reports support repair planning, resident communication and insurance enquiries. They do not determine liability or guarantee a claim payment.
