Common Damp Problems in Strand
| Problem | Usual work |
|---|---|
| Sea-facing balconies and sliding doors leaking in winter storms | Balcony waterproofing and resealing doors and windows |
| Leaking showers in newer homes and complexes | Shower waterproofing |
| Facade, roof and balcony leaks in apartment blocks | Commercial damp proofing |
| Damp after winter rain on exposed walls and window surrounds | Penetrating damp repairs and sealing |
Local Conditions Contractors Should Plan For
- Sea air. Salt and wind-driven rain wear down paint, sealants and window seals faster near the sea.
- Apartment blocks. Facades, roofs and many balconies are common property, so the body corporate usually appoints the contractor.
- Holiday homes. Houses closed up for weeks build up condensation and mould. Ventilation helps.
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.
