Damp Proofing in Washington
We investigate damp in Washington 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.
Washington housing stock, and what it means for damp
Washington combines its historic village with planned new town development arranged around separate residential districts. Washington Old Hall and the nearby River Wear are important parts of its local setting.
A village building may need attention to older masonry, while later estate homes often call for checks on cavity details, paving levels and ventilation. The building's construction determines the investigation rather than the district name.
Mould in a bedroom corner can relate to cold surfaces and limited airflow. A damp patch beside a patio needs a different inspection of ground clearance and drainage, so those symptoms should not automatically share a repair specification.
