Local properties
Wallsend housing stock, and what it means for damp
Wallsend is a mix of Tyneside flats, pre war terraces and large post war estates, and the damp problems split neatly along those lines. In the older terraces and flats around the town centre and Howdon, solid walls and worn out damp proof courses give the classic rising damp tidemark, salting and blown plaster.
On the post war estates at Battle Hill, Hadrian Park and Willington Quay, the walls are cavity built, so the issues change. Corroding wall ties, bridged cavities full of mortar droppings and blocked air bricks account for most of what we are called out to, along with condensation in homes that have been sealed up with new windows and insulation.
A lot of local property is rented or managed, and landlords need a clear report that separates rising damp from condensation, because they need completely different work. We give that in writing, with a fixed price, so nobody pays for treatment they do not need.
Common problems we treat in Wallsend
Rising damp in Tyneside flats and terraces
Older Wallsend housing has solid walls and a damp proof course that has broken down or been bridged.
Damp proofingCorroding cavity wall ties
Post war estate housing is prone to tie corrosion, which shows as horizontal cracking along the mortar beds.
Wall tie replacementCondensation and black mould in rented homes
Sealed up windows and reduced ventilation leave moisture nowhere to go, and it settles on cold surfaces.
Mould and condensation controlWoodworm and rot under suspended floors
Blocked air bricks and damp sub floors let decay take hold in joists and floorboards out of sight.
Woodworm treatmentReplastering after damp treatment
Salt contaminated plaster has to come off and go back with the correct mix, or the staining returns.
