Damp Proofing in Kingston Park

We investigate damp in Kingston Park 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.

Kingston Park housing stock, and what it means for damp

Kingston Park is a later residential district in north-west Newcastle, known for its shopping area, Metro connection and rugby ground. Nearby Kenton and the western suburbs add a range of earlier housing types.

For later cavity walled houses, damp around a window often starts with joints, sills or a local leak rather than a failed damp proof course. We compare the internal mark with the corresponding external detail.

Mould in an enclosed bedroom can reflect reduced airflow after insulation or window alterations. Ventilation needs assessing alongside the wall construction so that a repair addresses the moisture source rather than just repainting the surface.
