PCPS LTD

What PCPS LTD does

PCPS LTD is a privately held specialist damp and water damage services firm established in 2001 and headquartered in Woking, Surrey, UK. The company delivers three integrated service lines — professional damp surveys and investigations (covering rising damp, penetrating damp, hygroscopic damp, condensation, and mould), water damage assessment and repairs with insurance-claim project management, and industrial drying operations using refrigerant and desiccant dehumidifiers with warm air injection and tenting. All services are delivered manually on-site by a small team (1–10 employees) drawing on over 20 years of combined house-building and maintenance experience; no proprietary software platform or AI tooling is described.

The firm operates a direct-to-consumer model, reaching residential property owners across London, Surrey, Sussex, and Hampshire via its website (pcpsdampsurveys.co.uk), phone, and Instagram. Pricing is unit-based for surveys (from £175) and quote-based for repair and drying work, with a stated free project management service for insurance claims in which PCPS liaises directly with insurer representatives. The revenue base is entirely residential SMB, with eight named testimonial customers all located in the South East corridor. There is no disclosed institutional investment, no M&A activity, no patents or certifications, and no expansion beyond the existing regional footprint.
