Damp Proofing in Byker
We investigate damp in Byker before recommending treatment. Call our North Shields team for a free survey, a clear explanation of the cause and a written fixed price for proposed work.
Byker housing stock, and what it means for damp
Byker includes traditional streets, later housing and the architecturally significant Byker Estate. The Ouseburn valley is nearby, but individual buildings vary substantially in age, layout and construction.
A brick terrace and a home within the Byker Estate should not receive a standardised repair based only on their postcode. We establish the wall materials, accessible drainage details and the position of staining before setting out options.
Where a property is listed or covered by heritage controls, changes to finishes or external details may need approval. We explain the proposed repair so the owner can check permissions before work begins.
