Damp specialists for Didsbury (M20)
Didsbury's housing — large victorian and edwardian villas in west didsbury, period terraces near burton road, and 1930s family semis across east didsbury. — throws up the full range of damp problems. We see rising damp through failed DPCs in older terraces, penetrating damp on solid-brick gable walls, and condensation/mold in poorly ventilated bathrooms and kitchens across M20.
Every Didsbury damp job starts with a free on-site survey and moisture meter readings. We diagnose which of the three damp types you actually have, treat the cause — chemical DPC, tanking, ventilation or external repairs — then replaster with a salt-resistant render and skim system. One crew, one quote, written guarantee.
What we treat
Rising damp in Didsbury
Chemical DPC injection through the mortar bed, salt-neutralising render and skim — the long-term fix for failed or absent DPCs in M20 properties.
Penetrating damp in Didsbury
External pointing repairs, render patching and internal tanking where solid walls or failed flashings let water through.
Condensation & black mold
Ventilation upgrades, positive input ventilation and anti-mold treatment for Didsbury bathrooms, kitchens and north-facing bedrooms.
Cellar & basement tanking
Cementitious tanking systems and cavity drain membranes turning damp Didsbury cellars into usable, dry space.
Salt-resistant replaster
Renovation plaster system over treated walls so the finish stays sound and decoration doesn't fail.
