Specialist Damp Proofing in Firswood

Firswood sits right between our Chorlton base and Old Trafford, so the streets around King's Road, Western Road and Northumberland Road are firmly on our patch. It's a neighbourhood of neat Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis close to Longford Park — characterful homes that, like most of this era, are prone to damp once the original damp-proofing gives up.

The terraces here were built with solid or early cavity walls and slate damp-proof courses that are now well over a century old. We most often see rising damp where those DPCs have broken down or been bridged by raised path and garden levels, penetrating damp through eroded pointing on the weather-facing walls, and condensation in kitchens and bathrooms fitted into back rooms without adequate extraction. Each needs a different fix, so we always diagnose with damp meters first and tell you honestly what's actually going on.
