Common damp problems in Redhill properties
- Rising damp along ground-floor walls, often with salt contamination and damaged plaster.
- Penetrating damp from external defects (pointing, render cracks, flashings, gutters, roof junctions).
- Condensation in bedrooms, bathrooms and colder rooms with limited ventilation.
- Mould growth on cold corners, behind furniture and around windows.
- Basement / cellar damp where below-ground walls need waterproofing or tanking.
How we can help
- Damp surveys & diagnosis - moisture readings, visual inspection and clear findings.
- Rising damp treatment - DPC injection where appropriate, plus plaster removal/replastering spec.
- Penetrating damp solutions - identify the entry point and advise repairs to prevent recurrence.
- Condensation control - improve ventilation/extraction and reduce humidity and cold spots.
- Mould removal - safe treatment plus prevention advice so it's less likely to return.
- Basement tanking - waterproofing systems designed for below-ground structures.
Case study 1: Low-level damp and salts in a ground-floor room
A customer reported bubbling paint and crumbling plaster at low level on an external wall. We checked for bridging and moisture pathways and confirmed the likely cause, then recommended a suitable treatment plan including making good internally.
- Inspection and moisture assessment to confirm the damp type.
- Advice on external ground levels and wall junctions.
- Where required, installation of a new chemical DPC and salt-contaminated plaster removal.
- Re-plastering completed to an appropriate specification.
Case study 2: Bedroom mould behind furniture
A recurring mould problem was affecting a cold corner and the area behind a wardrobe. We assessed airflow and humidity, confirmed condensation as the likely cause, treated the mould and advised ventilation improvements to reduce recurrence.

How do I know if it's rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation?
Symptoms can look similar. Tide marks and salts at low level can suggest rising damp, damp patches higher up may indicate penetration, and mould on cold corners is often condensation-related. We inspect and explain the likely cause before recommending treatment.
Can you treat mould and help stop it returning?
Yes. We treat mould safely and focus on prevention by addressing humidity, ventilation and cold-spot condensation.
Do you handle replastering and making good?
Yes. Where needed we can manage associated repairs such as replastering and making good after damp treatment.
