Structural dampness is the presence of unwanted moisture in the structure of a building, either the result of intrusion from outside or condensation from within the structure

It is a type of damp used to describe the result of water infiltration through an external wall and into the property. It is a common cause of dampness that generally occurs within older buildings, but can occur in properties of any age..

Condensation is simply the moisture caused by everyday living. The result is condensation, an extremely underestimated cause of damage to our homes and is almost certainly the most common form of dampness within a building.

Do you have water collecting on your windows, sills, tiles and walls, black mould growth and musty smells?

Dry rot is one of the most damaging conditions you can get in a property. To grow or flourish, dry rot needs moisture. The longer you leave it, the worse it can become with the unfortunate knock on effect of increasing the likely cost of dry rot treatment.

Black mould is the name given to a specific genis of toxic mould, ‘Stachybotrys chartarum’.  

It is a common household problem that is generally down to poor ventilation, leaks or moisture in the air.
