Case study 1: Rising damp symptoms in a ground-floor room (Horley)

A homeowner reported bubbling paint and crumbling plaster along the base of an external wall. The property had older plaster internally and external levels that may have contributed to moisture bridging.

We inspected the affected elevation and checked for likely moisture pathways and bridging.
Where appropriate, a damp proof course solution was recommended to help prevent further moisture movement.
Salt-contaminated plaster was removed and replaced with a suitable re-plastering specification.
We provided clear advice on drying times and finishing/decorating.

Customer feedback:
"Very clear explanation and tidy work. The wall has dried out and the finish looks great."

Case study 2: Condensation and mould in a rental property near Smallfield

A landlord reported recurring mould growth in a bedroom corner and around window reveals. The property had limited ventilation and the room was prone to cold spots in winter.

We confirmed condensation as the likely cause and ruled out external water ingress.
Ventilation improvements and airflow strategies were recommended for the affected rooms.
Mould was treated safely and guidance was provided to reduce humidity and prevent recurrence.

Customer feedback:
"Really helpful advice. It stopped returning once we improved airflow and extraction."

FAQs - Damp proofing in Horley

Do you offer free damp surveys in Horley?

For straightforward issues where the cause is likely to be clear, we can often visit and provide a free quote. If you need a more detailed investigation or written report, we'll confirm any fee in advance.

How can I tell if it's rising damp or condensation?

Rising damp typically affects the lower part of ground-floor walls and can show tide marks and salts. Condensation often causes mould on cold surfaces and corners. We'll inspect the symptoms and confirm the likely cause.

Can you treat mould and help stop it returning?

Yes. We treat mould safely, and we also focus on prevention by addressing humidity and ventilation so it's less likely to return.

Do you carry out associated repairs after damp treatment?

Yes. Where needed, we can organise related works such as re-plastering and making good after treatment to restore the affected areas.
