Spotting the signs of damp
Homeowners should learn the common signs of damp so they are prepared to take action as quickly as possible. Remember that damp often forms in concealed locations first, such as behind large items of furniture. The first sign that you have damp in your home is often a musty or earthy smell which should always be investigated further. This could be accompanied by the following signs:
- Peeling wallpaper
- Blistered or flaky paintwork
- Rotten or warped floorboards
- Mould patches on walls and ceilings
- Walls that are cold to the touch
- Moisture on windows
If you spot any of these signs in your home, we recommend reaching out to our team to arrange a damp survey.

What is damp proofing?
Damp proofing is the name given to any process that helps to make a structure watertight. Building materials and moisture don’t mix well, and allowing moisture into your home will make it cold, uncomfortable and difficult to heat. It can also become a health hazard, as damp can lead to the build up of black mould in your home, which can be particularly problematic for the young and the old.
The type of damp proofing measures used will all depend on the location you are trying to protect. A damp proof course is the most common method. This is a chemical injection into your cavity wall which will create an impermeable barrier to keep moisture out of your home. We can also offer basement tanking, which is ideal for below ground rooms such as basements and cellars.
