Roofing in Erith

Treat the Cause of Damp

Looking for damp proofing in Erith? We work on homes across Erith and the surrounding area from our base in Kent, and every job starts with a proper look at the roof and a written price before any work is booked.

Damp can come from several places, and the treatment only works if it matches the cause. Water coming in from above, through the roof, the chimney or overflowing gutters, is penetrating damp. Moisture rising from the ground through the base of the walls is rising damp. Condensation comes from moisture inside the house settling on cold surfaces.

We start by finding out which one you are dealing with. Because we also work on roofs, chimneys and guttering, we can spot the cases where the damp is coming from above and fix it at the source. Where the problem is lower down, we explain the treatment options and what each one involves before any work is agreed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Damp Proofing in Erith FAQs

How can I tell what kind of damp I have?

Rising damp usually shows as a tide mark low on the wall, penetrating damp as patches that get worse after rain, and condensation as mould and wet windows. An inspection confirms which.

Can a roof problem cause damp inside?

Yes. Leaking roofs, failed chimney flashing and overflowing gutters are common causes of damp on upper walls and ceilings.

Is mould always caused by damp walls?

Often it is condensation rather than water getting in. Better ventilation and heating can make a big difference.

Will you tell me if I do not need damp proofing?

Yes. If the cause is a gutter or a roof defect, fixing that is the right answer, not a damp treatment you do not need.

How long does it take for walls to dry out?

It can take weeks or months after the cause has been fixed, depending on the wall thickness and the conditions.
