Damp Proofing in Felling
We investigate damp in Felling 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.
Felling housing stock, and what it means for damp
Felling grew with industry and coal mining on the south side of the Tyne. Older hillside terraces sit alongside later housing, with neighbouring Heworth and Pelaw adding different street patterns and building ages.
On a sloping plot, outside ground at the rear may sit above the internal floor. A damp retaining wall requires investigation into drainage and lateral moisture, which is different from rising damp at the base of a freestanding wall.
Older terraces with suspended floors also need accessible ventilation openings checked. Moisture at timber ends may continue even after the wall surface is replastered if the source beneath the floor remains unresolved.
