Common Damp Issues in Mayfair
Basement and vault damp
Mayfair's deep basements and vaults, frequently converted into gyms, cinemas, and staff areas, are prone to ground and lateral moisture when tanking fails.
Penetrating damp in period facades
Stucco and stone facades can let rain penetrate solid walls where render and pointing have deteriorated.
Commercial and mixed-use damp
Ground-floor commercial units and their relationship to residential floors above create damp responsibilities that need clear, independent documentation.
