Hi, I've noticed that the hallway wall in my house has damp. So I need a quote to get the problem fixed.

I would also like a quote on two other similar problems. One is wet walls & mould upstairs. And the other is a discoloured patch on a wall in another room.

Thanks
Abid.

Job Description

Current owner requires the following work; I have had a report carried out (which is available) that outlines that the two ground rooms need floor joists and floorboards replacing due to wet rot caused by high ground levels and insufficient air brick ventilation (plus some guttering issues) Semi detached property, traditional brick build property from last century. I am looking for a company that will carry out all timber and damp work PLUS the other general maintenance / remidial work outlined in the report, plus potentially some facia/guttering work that is causing damp in the upstairs rooms. I don't want to enagage one company that will undertake timber & damp work and then have to hire another company to do other work.

Job Description

Live in a detached pre 1950s house in general good condition. House does not have cavity wall insulation as our house is not appropriate for it.

We have a problem with damp in the main bedroom. Across one exterior wall staining has appeared across chimney breast wall and spread across either side. We have also noticed a large area of damp in corner of room (same wall) which has gone mouldy. We know there is a damp problem behind our wardrobes on the other exterior wall as can smell damp and clothing has been affected.

We have also recently discovered further damp mould in the 2 further bedrooms. No other rooms in the house are affected.

Job Description

The cottage was built in the 1890's and there are long standing damp problems in the living room. I had it properly treated 2 years ago ( plaster removed etc) and that seemed to solve it in the area of the treatment. A couple of years on, the tenants have now reported mould on the wall quite high up, mould on their mattress cover (!) and mould spreading in the conservatory!! I have no idea why this is happening over the house, but I need it to be looked at asap and I need to know what is wrong and what I need to do to remedy it.
I own the property and I rent it out now as I moved from the area.
The tenants have just reported the issue to me, so it is fairly recent.

Work required:
1) Find the source(s) of the damp and rectify the problem. Could be coal hatch, ventilation grills or walls themselves.

Thank you.
