Common Damp Issues in Islington
Rising damp in early period walls
Islington's Georgian and early Victorian walls often have no effective DPC, producing genuine rising damp at lower-ground and ground-floor level.
Lower-ground and basement damp
Garden and basement flats below street level are especially prone to lateral penetrating damp and ground moisture.
Condensation in converted flats
Terraces divided into flats commonly suffer condensation and mould where ventilation is poor and external walls run cold.
