LOCAL HOMES
Older walls, and the damp they let in.
Most of the damp we see around Wrexham comes down to one of three things. Pick the one that sounds like your house.
01 — RISING
Terraces and stone cottages
Wrexham’s older brick terraces and the stone cottages around it were built before modern damp proof courses. Where there is no working one, rising damp is a real possibility.
Rising damp & DPC
02 — PENETRATING
Weather through open joints
A solid wall with perished pointing takes the weather straight in. Patches that darken after rain and dry back between are penetrating damp.
Penetrating damp
03 — TANKING
Walls against the ground
Where a wall sits against higher ground, or a cellar is brought into use, water arrives under pressure. That needs tanking, not a damp proof course.

REVIEWS
In their words.
DAMP PROOFING OF BACK ROOM - NO CURRENT INSULATION
Top quality work, really happy with it all. Needed damp proofing, some construction work done and then insulation & plastering and they did great. There was some electrical work that couldn't be carried out but that was just due to my house being old and regulations as they're not certified to carry out that work. I would definitely recommend and couldn't fault them. Although I didn't really deal with them directly due to work, my partner felt very comfortable around them and found them to be very friendly, approachable and informative.

DAMP COURSE NEEDED
Really impressed with Nigel, Dale and Phil. Work was carried out over 3 days meaning I didn't need to take time off work. Really happy with the results, the guys made me feel at ease and explained all the work they did and tips on how to keep the damp under control outside the house. All in all a very positive experience, highly recommend.

QUESTIONS
Asked about this every week.
Do I definitely have rising damp?
Probably not. Rising damp is diagnosed far more often than it occurs. Condensation and penetrating damp account for a large share of what gets treated as rising damp, and both are repaired differently. That is the whole reason we survey before quoting.
Will a dehumidifier fix it?
It will manage condensation while it is running. It does nothing about water entering through masonry, and it will not dry a wall that is being resupplied with moisture from the ground or from outside.
How long does the work take?
Most single-room damp proofing and replastering jobs are two to four days on site. The drying afterwards takes longer than the work itself, and we will tell you how long to allow for your walls.
Do you charge for a quote?
Quotes are free. We look at the property, establish the mechanism, and price the repair before anything is booked in.

CONTACT
Send a photo of the wall.
Quickest route is WhatsApp with a photograph of the affected wall and, if you can, one of the outside face of the same wall. That is often enough for an initial view before a survey is booked.
