Damp Surveys in Wandsworth
Wandsworth is a family favourite built on rows of Victorian and Edwardian terraces — including the well-known 'Tonsleys' and the 'Toast Rack'. These homes are solid and characterful, but their age brings the familiar damp concerns of period brick construction.

Common Damp Issues in Wandsworth
Rising damp in terraced walls
Wandsworth's period terraces show rising damp where the DPC has failed or been bridged by modern ground levels and render.
Cellar and sub-floor damp
Cellars and suspended timber ground floors suffer ground moisture and inadequate ventilation, which can also put floor timbers at risk.
Condensation in converted homes
Flats and extended houses often develop condensation and mould where ventilation hasn't kept pace with modern living.
