          Federation of Damp Expands Mission to Set New Standards in Damp Surveyor Training and Accreditation

          LONDON, UK – 07/05/2025 — After a successful year of laying the groundwork for reform, the Federation of Damp (FOD) is proud to publicly unveil its strengthened commitment to raising industry standards through its flagship Federation of Damp Certified Surveyor (FODCS) training course and national accreditation initiative.

          Launched last year, the Federation was created to address critical gaps in professionalism, training, and consumer trust within the UK’s damp surveying industry. Now, with its first wave of certified members, tested resources, and sector collaborations underway, FOD is setting a new national benchmark for what it means to be a qualified damp surveyor.

          One Year On: Turning Vision Into Action

          In just over 12 months, the Federation of Damp has evolved from concept to cornerstone. It was founded in response to deep concerns about inconsistent diagnostic practices, unregulated operators, and the lack of formal education pathways in the damp sector.

          “We didn’t start the Federation just to create another badge. We’re here to change the culture of the industry,” explains Sam Fitzgerald, Founding Director. “With the launch of our FODCS course and national accreditation model, we’re giving surveyors the tools, respect, and standards they need to deliver trusted service.”

          Introducing the FODCS: Federation of Damp Certified Surveyor Training Course

          At the heart of the Federation’s offering is the FODCS training program—a rigorous, science-backed qualification for professionals committed to evidence-based damp surveying.

          The FODCS course includes:

           

          • A structured curriculum developed with leading building pathologists
          • Hands-on assessments and real-world case studies
          • Continuous Professional Development (CPD) accreditation
          • Independent verification and reporting standards
          • Ethical frameworks for treatment recommendation

          Graduates of the FODCS course join a growing community of certified professionals listed on the Federation’s publicly searchable registry, reinforcing public trust and industry accountability.

          Why the Federation Matters Now More Than Ever

          Building damp is more than a cosmetic concern. Misdiagnosis or unnecessary treatment can lead to:

          • Long-term property damage
          • Health implications, particularly from mould exposure
          • Thousands of pounds in avoidable repair costs

           Yet despite the severity of these risks, many in the field operate with no formal qualifications, relying instead on product sales or outdated methods. The Federation’s goal is to shift the industry away from sales-first solutions and toward diagnosis-driven expertise.

          Driving a National Standard for Professional Excellence

          Since its launch, FOD has created:

          • A clear accreditation pathway for independent surveyors
          • A robust code of conduct and ethical guidelines
          • The first steps toward a national standard for damp diagnostics

          The Federation works closely with regulatory bodies, consumer groups, and insurance providers to align qualifications with broader housing, safety, and health agendas.

          Support, Advocacy, and Community Building

          The Federation is more than just a certification body—it’s a movement. With regular regional forums, national conferences, and a soon-to-launch online knowledge centre, FOD supports professionals and informs consumers alike.

          Upcoming initiatives for 2025 include:

          • Public education campaigns on choosing the right surveyor
          • Extended training modules for insurance assessors and housing officers

          Membership Open: Join the Federation of Damp Today

          The Federation of Damp is currently accepting new members across the UK. Open to:

          • Independent Damp Surveyors
          • Damp Proofing Companies
          • Waterproofing Companies

          Early members can earn Founding Member status, receive discounted access to the FODCS course, and help shape the future of their profession.

          About the Federation of Damp

          The Federation of Damp (FOD) is a UK-based, independent organisation championing excellence in damp surveying. Founded to promote ethical practices, science-led diagnostics, and accredited training, the Federation is committed to raising standards across the industry while empowering both professionals and the public.
