Common damp problems we see in Crawley homes

Low-level tide marks and salts on ground floor walls (often linked to rising damp or bridged DPCs).
Damp patches that worsen after rain (often penetrating damp from external defects such as pointing, render or guttering).
Black mould on cold corners, behind furniture or around windows (often condensation and ventilation related).
Bathroom / kitchen humidity leading to recurring mould if extraction is poor.

Case study 1: Rising damp symptoms in a Crawley terrace

A homeowner noticed crumbling plaster and bubbling paint along a lounge wall at low level. Skirtings were starting to soften and salts were visible on the plaster.

We inspected internal symptoms and checked for bridging and moisture pathways.
External ground levels and wall junctions were assessed for likely causes.
Where required, we installed a chemical damp proof course and removed salt-contaminated plaster.
Re-plastering was completed to a suitable specification for long-term performance.

Customer feedback:
"Clear advice and tidy work. The wall dried out and the finish looks great."

Case study 2: Condensation mould in a bedroom near Three Bridges

A family had recurring mould behind a wardrobe and on a cold external corner during winter. The room had limited airflow and furniture was tight to the wall.

We confirmed condensation as the likely cause (no external ingress found).
Ventilation and airflow changes were recommended and implemented.
Mould was treated safely and guidance was provided to reduce recurrence.

Customer feedback:
"Finally someone explained it properly. The room feels fresher and the mould hasn't returned."

FAQs - Damp proofing in Crawley

Do you offer free damp surveys in Crawley?

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 may 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 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.
