Sound familiar?
You've noticed something. Now you need to know.
Most homeowners spot something worrying and have no idea whether to panic, call someone immediately, or leave it for now. A crack that appeared after last winter. A damp patch on the bathroom ceiling. A roof tile that looks off.
You're not sure if it's serious — but it's not going away. SpotIt gives you a clear answer.

The crack that appeared after last winter
Is it structural or just settlement?
-
The damp patch on the bathroom ceiling
Is this a leak from above or just condensation?
-
The boiler making a new noise
Do I call someone now or wait to see if it gets worse?
-
The roof tile that looks off
If I ignore it, what's the worst that could happen?

The assessment
A clear answer, not a guess
SpotIt doesn't tell you to "seek professional advice". It tells you what the defect likely is, what's causing it, how serious it probably is, and what type of help you need — if any.
- Plain-English explanation of what the defect likely is and what's causing it
- Severity rating — Green, Amber, or Red — so you know how urgently to act
- Specific recommended action — the right type of tradesperson, or self-resolve guidance
- Honest about what it can and can't determine from a photo
Common questions
What homeowners ask us most
What is SpotIt for homeowners?
SpotIt is a free AI-powered tool that helps homeowners understand property defects. You photograph a concern — damp, cracks, roof damage, a mysterious stain — and SpotIt instantly analyses it. You receive a plain-English assessment of what it likely is, how serious it might be, and what to do next.
What types of defects can SpotIt assess?
SpotIt can assess any visible property defect, including:
- Damp and mould
- Structural cracks and subsidence
- Roof damage and missing tiles
- Water damage and leaks
- Damaged flooring, walls, or ceilings
- Broken fixtures and fittings
- General deterioration and disrepair
If the defect is visible in a photograph, SpotIt can assess it.
How accurate is the assessment?
SpotIt uses advanced AI vision to analyse your photo. It provides a well-informed assessment based on what is visible — identifying likely causes, severity, and appropriate next steps. It is not a substitute for a professional survey, but it gives you a clear and reliable starting point before you spend money on a tradesperson.
Will SpotIt tell me how much it will cost to fix?
SpotIt does not provide cost estimates — repair costs vary too much by location, property, and contractor to be meaningful from a photo. What SpotIt does tell you is what type of tradesperson you need and how urgent it is, which puts you in a much stronger position when getting quotes.
Can I use SpotIt for a property I am buying?
Yes. SpotIt is useful during a property purchase — you can photograph concerns spotted during a viewing and get an immediate sense of whether they are cosmetic or potentially serious before commissioning a full survey.
What if SpotIt says it is serious?
If SpotIt rates a defect as Amber or Red, it will tell you what type of professional to contact and how urgently:
- Structural concerns: RICS surveyor or structural engineer
- Damp: Specialist damp surveyor — not a general builder
- Roofing: Qualified roofer (check for NFRC membership)
- Gas or heating: Gas Safe registered engineer
- Electrical: Part P certified electrician
SpotIt gives you the right next step, not a vague "seek professional advice".
