Damp Proofing in Boldon

Boldon housing stock, and what it means for damp
Boldon covers East Boldon, West Boldon and Boldon Colliery, three settlements with different histories. Village buildings, former mining housing and later estates should not be treated as one uniform building stock.
For an older village wall, previous pointing and coatings can influence how moisture dries. We check materials and rainwater details before specifying a repair, especially where heritage controls may affect visible alterations.
In colliery terraces, timber floor ventilation and external levels are useful checks. Later cavity houses call for an assessment of joints and ties, while black mould in any home needs attention to indoor moisture and airflow.
