Damp Proofing in Roker

We investigate damp in Roker 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.

Roker housing stock, and what it means for damp

Roker is known for its park, pier and lighthouse, with Victorian and Edwardian streets forming part of its coastal conservation area. Its villas, terraces and converted properties need repairs that suit their individual construction.

In an older converted house, rain penetration at a high level and moisture beside ground floor skirtings may have separate causes. We check accessible roof and rainwater details alongside external ground levels and wall finishes.

Sea air and repeated wetting can leave salts in damaged plaster. Replastering should follow investigation and repair of the source, while timber ends in persistently damp areas need checking where access is possible.
