Damp ceilings will be one of two or three things.

• Condensation. 
• Leaking roof or flashing.
• Overflowing gutters.

The pattern and location of the damp will help to pinpoint the issue, and you don't need a surveyor to tell you.

Condensation can be reduced by ventilating where needed, and insulation in the loft.

Leaks in the roof or flashing can be dealt with by a decent roofer, and they could probably sort any issues with the guttering.

I believe that it is condensation caused by lack of ventilation in the loft
In combination with bags of tightly packed insulation....
But I am disabled and unable to even climb into the loft for a look see 

Seriously, you’ve been given some great advice.  Get a local handiman/person in to sort out the insulation in the roof if you think it’s caused by tightly packed insulation. Will be cheaper than employing these people
