Damp Surveys in Notting Hill
Notting Hill's iconic pastel stucco townhouses and communal garden squares are as prone to damp as they are beautiful. Solid walls, deep basements, and rendered facades all create moisture risks that need an experienced eye to diagnose correctly.
We survey properties throughout Notting Hill, Westbourne Grove, and Ladbroke Grove — from grand family houses on the garden squares to mews houses and flats carved out of larger buildings. Every survey is independent and evidence-led.

Common Damp Issues in Notting Hill
Penetrating damp through render
Cracked or poorly maintained stucco allows rain to penetrate solid walls, a classic Notting Hill problem often mistaken for rising damp.
Basement and vault damp
Deep basements and pavement vaults suffer lateral and ground moisture, particularly where converted into living space or kitchens.
Condensation in sub-divided houses
Houses split into multiple flats frequently develop condensation and mould where ventilation and heating are inadequate.
