Damp Proofing in Morpeth
Careful damp surveys for Morpeth's stone and period property, with a written report, a fixed price and treatment by our own team.
Morpeth housing stock, and what it means for damp
Morpeth is a historic market town with a conservation area at its heart, where many buildings are stone built and date from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Around it are Victorian terraces, inter war semis and modern estates such as Stobhill and Kirkhill.
Older stone property was built to breathe, so damp often comes from cement pointing, impermeable renders or raised ground levels rather than a missing damp proof course. Getting the diagnosis right matters more than the treatment.
The town sits on the River Wansbeck, and low lying homes and cellars near the river can have high ground water that needs a waterproofing system.

A selection of recent Google reviews from across North Tyneside and Newcastle.
Jade & David done the plastering for me, both incredibly professional & super friendly! Went above & beyond with it & engaged with my 2 little boys, very thankful
Sophie Rawsterne Jade did a fantastic job sorting the damp issues at the bottom of our stairs, super super friendly and polite and great work overall!! Kind and respectful and ensured I was happy with the work that was done before leaving. If we needed any further works done in the future I'd hope they'd send Jade out again to provide the same high quality work. Smashing job :)

Kendal Muir John fitted me a new fire door, he was efficient and friendly and did a good job cleaning up after himself I would recommend him as someone not usually comfortable with strangers
