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.

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.

Job Description

I have issues with damp in the kitchen and living room where the plaster has discoloured and lifted and would like someone to take a look at see whether the damp proof course needs redoing.

It was over 15 years ago and I’m having external wall insulation fitted later in the year so I want to make sure there are no issues before the walls are covered.

Not sure of the type of damp that's causing the issue but the house was built in 1921 and has no cavity wall insulation.

Ideally I would like someone to come round and take a look and advise on what actions are needed to resolve the problem.

I would like a written quotation that includes all labour and materials. I can meet you at the property during work hours for an inspection 1st if that’s easier.

Job Description

I have noticed a small area in my basement where the paint is bubbling and flaking off - on closer inspection the wood behind seems to have rotted away in a couple of small areas. I wonder if it is caused by condensation? Could do with it being looked at to see what needs doing as I dont want further damage to be caused seeing as it is only in a small area at the moment. I would appreciate a quote and some advice if possible.

Job Description

Two of the bedrooms suffer with horrific mold and damp walls, water resting on the skirting boards, all mold has been cleaned and removed but a solution needs to be identified to stop re-occurance. Being an old victorian house there are two chimney breasts within the bedrooms, one with a vent and one without. Rendering on external wall may need to be looked at.

Job Description

My two bed Victorian mid terrace house built 1901 has a small cellar (under the front room) with a coal hatch that was closed off with a slab kind of thing long before I bought the house. The walls and the floor are made of brick while the ceiling is plastered and painted. About a year ago the cellar started to develop damp and this can be felt by touching all the walls and seen on the brick floor. The problem has been getting worse over time.

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

2) Dry/De-humidify the entire cellar so that all walls and floor are dry.

3) Damp proof the cellar so that the damp does not return. A certificate of damp proofing with warranty please.

Thank you.

Would you be able to remove the plaster from our external wall, re-plaster the wall and check for damp problems? Could you also seal the outside of the property to ensure no water is penetrating through the walls render?
