Damp Proofing

Find Where the Water Is Getting In First

The red-brick terraces of Ranelagh have solid walls, shared chimney stacks and gutters that run along the row, and damp in these houses can come from almost anywhere. A brown ring near the ceiling, a tide mark above the skirting or mould in a back bedroom are clues, but the mark on the wall is rarely where the water enters.

Because we work on roofs, chimneys and gutters every day from our base on Mountain View Road, we check those first. A failed flashing or an overflowing gutter can soak a wall for months, and no wall treatment will hold while that carries on.

Once the cause is clear, we explain it in writing and recommend the work that fits.

Damp Proofing

Rising Damp Treatment in Ranelagh

Where moisture is climbing through the masonry at ground level, often shown by a wavy tide mark and crumbling plaster near the floor, we install a damp proof course and replaster with suitable materials. We also check whether raised ground levels outside are bridging the existing damp course.

Damp Proofing

Tanking for Below-Ground Walls

Where a wall sits below ground level, such as in a lower ground floor room, we can tank it to hold back moisture from the ground behind.

Damp Proofing

Damp From the Roof, Chimney or Gutters

Damp high on a wall or beside a chimney breast usually starts above. If we trace it to slates, lead or the stack, the repair is covered on our Chimney Repairs in Ranelagh and Roof Repairs pages. Overflowing gutters are covered under Gutter Repairs & Replacement in Ranelagh.

FAQs

Your Damp Proofing Questions Answered

Why would a roofer deal with damp?

So much damp in terraced houses starts at the roof, chimney or gutters. We can find and fix those causes as well as carrying out damp proof courses.

Is it rising damp or something else?

A tide mark low on the wall suggests rising damp, a stain near the ceiling usually means water from above, and mould with wet windows points to condensation.

Will the damp disappear straight away?

No. Walls need time to dry out after the cause is fixed, and we tell you what to expect.

Can damp come from next door's chimney or gutter?

On a terrace it can. We check the shared stack and gutters and explain what we find.
