We carry out damp surveys for homeowners, landlords, property investors and homebuyers across Stratford and the wider East London area.
Common Damp Problems Found in Stratford Properties
Stratford has a mixture of Victorian terraces, period conversions, ex-local authority housing and modern apartment developments. Each property type can experience different damp-related issues.
During our surveys we regularly identify:
- Rising damp
- Penetrating damp
- Condensation and mould growth
- Roof leaks
- Defective guttering and downpipes
- Plumbing leaks
- Damp around windows and doors
- Poor ventilation
- Bridged damp proof courses
- Hidden moisture within walls and floors
Our inspections focus on identifying the true cause of damp rather than simply treating the symptoms.
Rising Damp Surveys in Stratford
Rising damp occurs when moisture travels upwards through masonry walls from ground level.
Common signs include:
- Damp patches at low level
- Salt deposits on walls
- Peeling wallpaper
- Crumbling plaster
- Damp skirting boards
- Musty odours
Our survey will determine whether genuine rising damp is present and identify the most appropriate remedial solution.
Condensation and Mould Surveys
Condensation is one of the most common causes of mould growth within Stratford properties.
We assess:
- Ventilation levels
- Heating patterns
- Moisture production within the property
- Thermal bridging
- Insulation defects
- Mould growth risks
Where necessary we provide practical recommendations to reduce moisture levels and improve indoor air quality.
Leak Detection and Water Ingress Investigations
Water ingress can often be mistaken for rising damp. We investigate:
- Roof defects
