Damp Proofing

Stop the water, then treat the damp

Damp inside a home often starts outside, and a roofer is well placed to find it. Penetrating damp from a leaking roof, a cracked chimney, failed pointing or an overflowing gutter shows up as staining, blown plaster or a musty smell, and treating the wall without stopping the water only lets it come back.

We trace where the water is entering, put the external fault right, whether that is a flashing, a slipped tile, the pointing or the guttering, and then treat and make good the affected area. Where the damp needs specialist work we tell you honestly what is involved. The point is to deal with the cause, not paint over the symptom.

Common questions

Damp Proofing questions

Is my damp coming from the roof?

It often is. A damp patch on an upstairs ceiling or chimney breast usually points to a roof, flashing or chimney fault. The survey confirms it.

Do you treat the wall as well as the roof?

We stop the water getting in first, then treat and make good the affected area once it can dry, so the fix lasts.

Why does the damp keep coming back?

Because the source was never fixed. Treating the inside without stopping the water outside is why damp returns, which is why we start at the cause.

How do I know if my damp is coming from the roof?

Damp on an upstairs ceiling, a chimney breast or high on a wall usually points to a roof, flashing or chimney fault. The survey confirms where the water is getting in.

Will the damp come back after you treat it?

Not once the source is fixed. We stop the water getting in first, then treat and make good, so it does not simply return.
