Local Conditions Contractors Should Plan For
- Lower rainfall. Worcester gets far less rain than Cape Town, so damp more often comes from rising damp, leaks or irrigation than from rain.
- Hot summers, cold winters. Salts crystallise as damp walls dry in the heat, so plaster damage shows even when walls look dry.
- Travel. Fewer contractors are based here, so some add a travel charge. Ask whether it is included.
- Older houses. Many were built without an effective DPC, or have one bridged by later paving, soil or plaster.
What to Send for an Accurate Quote
- Town and street area.
- 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.
