Damp Proofing in Jarrow

We investigate damp in Jarrow 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.

Jarrow housing stock, and what it means for damp

Jarrow's shipbuilding and industrial history shaped streets around the Tyne, while later estates extend inland. St Paul's Church and the nearby monastic site reflect a much earlier chapter of the town's history.

In older terraces, low level staining needs investigation into ground levels, rainwater goods and any original damp proof course. Where floors are suspended timber, accessible air bricks and joist ends should be considered too.

Later cavity houses can have a different set of issues, including deteriorating ties and condensation on colder walls. We distinguish masonry movement from moisture staining before agreeing a repair programme.
