Damp Proofing in Sunderland
Free damp surveys across Sunderland, from the coast at Roker and Seaburn to the terraced streets of the city, with a fixed written price.
Sunderland housing stock, and what it means for damp
Sunderland has a wide range of housing. Many streets are lined with its distinctive single storey Sunderland cottages, alongside Victorian terraces in Millfield, Hendon and Ashbrooke, larger period houses near the parks, and twentieth century estates across the city.
Sunderland cottages and older terraces are solid walled with suspended floors, so rising damp and rot under floors are common. On the coast at Roker and Seaburn, exposed walls take driving rain off the North Sea and coastal air speeds up wall tie corrosion in cavity walls.
Across the city's post war estates, condensation and black mould are the most frequent problems we see.

What customers say about our work
A selection of recent Google reviews from across North Tyneside and Newcastle.
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 :)
Owen John sorted an issue we were having with moisture getting through the front door. He was quick and professional, would definitely recommend.
Gregg 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
Lesley Crosby David and jade were amazing in the 3 day job they had plastering (practically remodeling my living room), went above and beyond and did more tests for humidity in other rooms and got that sorted out at the same time for me to save myself a future call to my landlord. Honestly recommend this service to anyone.
