Damp Proofing in Killingworth
We investigate damp in Killingworth 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.
Killingworth housing stock, and what it means for damp
Killingworth includes the historic village and later planned town development around Killingworth Lake. Its mixture of older buildings and twentieth century estates means the wall construction needs establishing at the start of a survey.
In a cavity walled estate home, low level damp can be related to paving or debris bridging the damp proof course. We inspect accessible external levels, joints and ventilation openings before considering a new treatment.
An older village property may use different masonry and mortar from a later house. The repair should suit those materials, and external alterations in protected surroundings may need checks with the council.
