Specialist Damp Proofing in Brooklands
Specialist damp proofing for Brooklands' 1930s semis.
Brooklands, strung along the Metrolink line in the south of Sale, is a leafy, largely 1930s residential area we cover across Trafford. Its inter-war semis are well-built but have the damp characteristics typical of their age and construction.
Brooklands is dominated by cavity-walled semis from the 1920s and 30s, where the most common problems are condensation and black mould in bedrooms, bathrooms and on cold external walls, and penetrating damp where cavities have been bridged by extensions, raised ground or debris. True rising damp is less common here but does appear in the older stock. We meter every home on a free visit, because in these semis the right answer is frequently better ventilation rather than full damp-proofing.

Very — in 1930s cavity semis condensation is the number one cause of damp and mould. We treat the mould and fix the underlying ventilation, which is far more effective and cheaper than unnecessary damp-proofing.
