Damp Surveys in Greenwich
Greenwich is a UNESCO World Heritage setting rich in Georgian and Victorian houses, many within tightly protected conservation areas and close to the river. The age of the housing and its riverside position combine to create moisture challenges that call for a careful, conservation-aware approach.
We provide independent damp surveys throughout Greenwich, East Greenwich, and Blackheath borders — diagnosis that respects the historic fabric of SE10's period homes.

Common Damp Issues in Greenwich
Rising damp in historic walls
Greenwich's Georgian and Victorian walls, often with no effective DPC, show genuine rising damp — where sympathetic, breathable solutions matter in a conservation setting.
Riverside and low-ground moisture
Properties near the Thames experience elevated ground moisture and, in places, water ingress risk that needs professional assessment.
Penetrating damp through old masonry
Weathered brick and render on exposed elevations let rain penetrate, producing internal damp on solid walls.
