Clapham is prime Victorian terrace territory — the streets 'between the commons' are packed with handsome brick family houses, many now divided into flats. Their age and construction make damp a routine consideration for the area's many buyers, sellers, and landlords.

Common Damp Issues in Clapham
Rising damp in terraced walls
Clapham's Victorian terraces frequently show rising damp where DPCs have failed or been bridged by raised patios and rendered external walls.
Condensation in flats and extensions
Divided terraces and glazed rear extensions often lack adequate ventilation, producing condensation and mould, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms.
Cellar damp
Small cellars beneath the terraces suffer ground moisture and are worth assessing before storage or conversion.
