Local Conditions Contractors Should Plan For
- Older houses. Many were built without an effective DPC, or have one bridged by later paving, soil or plaster.
- Semi-detached and terraced houses. Shared walls mean damp can come from next door, and work may need the neighbour's cooperation.
- Commercial buildings. Offices, shops and warehouses often need after-hours work and phased access.
What to Send for an Accurate Quote
- Suburb, estate or building name.
- Where the damp shows, how high and how big.
- Whether it gets worse after rain.
- House, townhouse, flat or commercial property.
- Photos inside and outside the affected wall.
