🧱 Period Property Company Straight Answers. Solid Knowledge. No Chemical Sales Pitches. 🟡 What Makes Us Different We specialise in Victorian terraces and other homes built using traditional 9-inch solid brick walls – not cavity wall modern builds. Most damp issues in these properties are misdiagnosed by damp-proofers (local and national), who are often just chemical salesmen. We investigate the real causes — which in virtually 100% of cases, are not rising damp. 🔬 What We Actually Do We don’t guess — we measure. Our surveys use scientific tools to find the root cause of your damp: Thermal hygrometer – Measures both relative and specific humidity, so we can tell if moisture is airborne or structural. Surface temperature probes – Show whether internal walls are cold enough for condensation to form. Thermal imaging camera – Helps us identify cold spots, bridging, and hidden moisture paths. Calcium carbide testing – A reliable test of actual wall moisture content, not just surface readings. Advanced damp meter – Measures deep inside walls, timber and plaster, with both prong and deep-wall probes. This kit gives us the full picture, so we can tell you exactly what’s going on — no guesswork, no treatments we’re trying to sell. 👷♂️ What We Actually Fix Internal damp patches in living rooms, bay windows, hallways, kitchens and under stairs. Condensation and humidity problems – resolved with proper ventilation systems (fans, air bricks, trickle vents, subfloor vents). Bridged DPCs from high ground levels, render, or pointing faults. Inadequate or blocked subfloor ventilation – leading to rot and airborne moisture. Damaged plasterwork, skirting boards, and floor timbers – all repaired with respect to the original construction. Pointing and breathable repair work to stop moisture getting in from outside. 📋 What You Can Expect We provide: Detailed, pressure-free surveys. Honest explanations in plain English. No scare tactics, no chemical upselling. Proper documentation, clear pricing, and jobs done by people who understand period homes from the inside out. 💬 Don’t Just Take Our Word for It > “Three other companies told us we had rising damp. Jon explained everything properly, showed us the readings, and proved it was just condensation and poor ventilation. Total professional.” “What impressed me was the science. He didn’t just wave a damp meter and sell us a course. He showed us thermal images, talked us through it, and fixed it properly.” Check our 5-star reviews on MyBuilder — we’re proud of every single one. 🧠 The Bottom Line Before you let anyone drill your walls or sell you chemicals — get a second opinion from someone who isn’t selling treatments. We’ll show you the real cause, and fix it the right way. The portfolio pics show situations we come across every week, high ground levels, blocked air bricks and unnecessary chemical dpc injections that don't solve the real issue...
