Damp Proofing in Low Fell

Low Fell housing stock, and what it means for damp
Low Fell developed along the route south from Gateshead and retains older residential streets alongside inter war semis and later homes. Saltwell Park and the slopes around the neighbourhood provide useful local context.
A semi with cavity walls needs checks on joints, wall ties and outside ground clearance. A period house may instead have solid masonry and timber floors, requiring a different approach to moisture and ventilation.
On sloping gardens, raised beds and paths can keep moisture against a wall. We inspect those details before specifying internal work, so fresh plaster does not simply conceal a continuing external source.
