Damp Proofing in Fenham
We investigate damp in Fenham 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.
Fenham housing stock, and what it means for damp
Fenham lies west of Newcastle's centre, with streets of terraces, inter war semis and later homes. The area around Fenham Hall and its surrounding residential neighbourhoods has a varied building history.
In older semis, cavity wall cracks and damp patches should be investigated separately. Corroding wall ties can move the masonry, while leaking gutters or poor joints may admit rain without any defect in the damp proof course.
A wet wall beside a driveway needs an inspection of outside levels and drainage. Upstairs mould, particularly behind wardrobes, needs checks on ventilation and colder surfaces rather than the same treatment used downstairs.
