The London town of Beckenham was just a small village for a long time until a crop of new housing was built in the mid-nineteenth century. And thanks to this new development, the population grew by the thousands. Like a lot of growth throughout the UK, it’s the arrival of the railway that residents have to thank for the boom. The original village lay in fields, surrounded by grand estates. Beckenham retains its green and leafy image today. However, there’s clear evidence of the Victorian development. Beckenham is far from shy and retiring. With nine railway stations and a busy high street, it has an enormous number of local amenities. The area’s excellent access to Central London is a bonus for residents. Original buildings, such as Beckenham Place mansion have found new purposes. Since the housing boom in the nineteenth century, development of new homes has slowed. The Victorian buildings are often beautiful, but prone to a host of problems that plague older houses.

Whether you live in an older or more modern building, damp is a problem that can affect your home and family. It’s essential to address it as soon as possible, preferably before any issues occur. The longer you leave it, the worse any potential damp proofing problems can become.
