Damp Proofing in Newton Aycliffe

We investigate damp in Newton Aycliffe 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.

Newton Aycliffe housing stock, and what it means for damp

Newton Aycliffe's planned post war development is distinct from the older Aycliffe Village nearby. Residential districts and the wider industrial area form a different setting from County Durham's earlier mining terraces.

In a later cavity walled house, we inspect openings, mortar joints and the clearance between paving and the damp proof course. Local leaks and bridged courses can produce a low level mark without the original course having failed.

Window and insulation changes can alter airflow and temperatures inside. For recurring bedroom mould, the survey considers ventilation and indoor moisture alongside external defects, rather than treating the visible surface alone.
