Damp diagnosed.
Damp solved.
Manchester's older housing stock and weather mean damp issues are common — but they don't have to come back. We diagnose the cause first, treat it properly, then re-plaster with a salt-resistant plaster system.
Our process
Survey
On-site inspection and moisture readings to identify the source.
Diagnose
Rising, penetrating or condensation — each needs a different fix.
Treat
Chemical DPC, tanking, or condensation control as appropriate.
Re-plaster
Salt-resistant plaster system, ready for decoration.
Signs you need a survey
- Tide marks or staining low on internal walls
- Peeling wallpaper or flaking paint
- Black mold patches around windows or ceilings
- Musty smell in a room
- Salt deposits on plaster
- Damp patches that come back after redecorating
Damp proofing across Greater Manchester
Manchester's older terraced and semi-detached housing — particularly in areas like Levenshulme, Longsight, Gorton, Whalley Range, Salford and Stockport — is prone to rising damp, penetrating damp from solid brick walls, and condensation in poorly ventilated kitchens and bathrooms. We diagnose which type you actually have (most "damp" turns out to be one of three very different problems) and treat it at source.
Treatments include chemical DPC injection, internal tanking systems, salt-resistant renovation plaster, basement waterproofing membranes and condensation control with positive input ventilation. Every job is finished by our own plasterers — so the wall isn't just dry, it's paint-ready.
Types of damp we treat
Rising damp
Moisture wicking up from the ground through a failed or absent DPC. Treated with chemical DPC injection and replastering.
Penetrating damp
Water coming in through walls, roofs or around windows. Usually a repair plus internal tanking.
Condensation & mold
Warm moist air condensing on cold surfaces. Solved with ventilation, insulation and anti-mold treatment.
Basement / cellar damp
Cementitious tanking systems and cavity drain membranes for usable basement space.
