Specialist Damp Proofing in Rusholme

Rusholme — home to the Curry Mile on Wilmslow Road and bordering Platt Fields Park — is a densely built Victorian neighbourhood of terraces and large shared houses. It's close to our Chorlton base and an area where damp and mould are common, especially in the many homes let to students and families.

Rusholme's solid-wall Victorian terraces carry original damp-proof courses that are well past their best, so rising damp and salting low on walls are frequent, as is penetrating damp through eroded pointing on these exposed, tightly-packed streets. In the busy shared houses, condensation and black mould are the biggest issue of all. We find the true cause with meters and treat it properly — often the answer is better ventilation rather than the damp-proofing people expect.
