Job Description

This is a Victorian property. Several smaller existing rooms were merged to make a larger kitchen in 1983, and a damp course was installed. The ground level on one side of the kitchen is above floor level. By 2008, the lower part of some of the walls and pillars showed some peeling and swelling. A 'French drain' was dug outside, a new damp course installed, and some of the plaster, thought to be the problem, was replaced. Further remedial work was done in 2010, but there are now hairline cracks in some of the plasterwork and some of the skirting board, added in 2008 is being pushed away from the walls. I have not been able to make contact with the company who did the work in 2008/2010, and would welcome further advice.

We have had a survey carried out on a property we wish to buy which has highlighted some damp (approx 2 metres in length) to the lounge wall. We have been told this needs a checmical injection. Could you please provide a quote for this? Thank you

* Added 5th April, 2013 :
Should have mentioned that although we dont own the property yet we would like to complete the work on the property prior to moving in and we have been told by the vendors that this is fine.
In terms of the additional info you may require- it is a victorian property - age 1900s, semi detached and the damp it is to side (outside one) wall, downstairs. There is no visible evidence but was picked up by the surveyor and the vendor has also had his own survey done that confirms it- but we would like to use own own firm for the job. thanks

Job Description

I recently moved into a 3-bedroom end-of-terrace property, but found that the damp-proofing course had only been done along the side of the property. The rear of the property needs to be done, comprising a rear bay and a downstairs WC (this extends out of the back of the house, it was previously an 'outside' toilet but is now connected, this needs doing on three sides as next door does not have this additional toilet).
If you need any additional details then please contact me.

Job Description

I live in a semi-detached house in Kilburn/West Hampstead, the property is more than 150years old. The room our the stairs has suffered from damp for many years and was 'damp proofed' once before during the 1990s. This has obviously not been very successful. There are visible areas where plaster is collapsing and a general damp feel to the room - although only in one area of the room and it is above head height.
I want to have the room converted into a utility room as soon as possible but before it can be done it needs to be treated for damp. The job i need doing is as follows:

1. Assess where and why the damp is occurring.
2. Damp proofing the room to the highest standard.
3. Removing old plaster and making the room good for further changes.

Job Description

The front wall of our victorian terraced house has (rising?) damp up to about 1m. I do not think it has been damp proofed. There is a brick patio which may be raising the outside ground level to above the damp proof course.

This is affecting the front room only.

Quote for proofing to include time and materials.
